Re: Stacking at St. Louis
 

Honestly, if this were one complaint about parking, that's exactly what it would be... 1 complaint, however it isn't. Every single one of these NHRA traveling road shows is a parking issue and it just makes sense to roll on to the next race rather than drive home just to turn around and leave, therefore NHRA and track owners should work to make some concessions for their customers. I called the owner of VMP to ask about going straight from the GALOT D2 race to VMP, they said they aren't allowed to park anyone in the track per NHRA but they would gladly get stacking going if any racers would like to show up early. I will also add that the owners at VMP are always willing to go the extra mile for any racer at any time... others, well, not so much.

1320racer Ed and his typical routine. Kind of makes me feel sorry for the people that have to work with him from 9 to 5.

Sorry , I can't help it !

Re: Stacking at St. Louis
 

Well we did away with the stacking problem! We drove on home last night right past the St. Louis track—687 miles. I tried to call St. Louis track, but no call back! Then I tried to call Division 3 office this the morning with no call back! I wanted to find out if after national event if ,when they relocate us to drag strip, we will be parked where we will be for the divisional or will we just stack and park later. The flyer doesn’t really say. But no answer! So I call the Galot race track where they are having a Division 2 points race this weekend and they answered the phone and my questions!! And sounded like they would be glad to see us! So we withdrew from the St. Louis debacle, where they didn’t want us anyway, and are going to Galot! Then the next weekend is Virginia for a divisional which said we can stack straight from Galot! Then on to Charlotte and Rockingham ! Looking forward to seeing our D2 friends!!

Maybe its just me but if I had A 40FT motor home, a stacker trailer, two race cars and a nice home to return to - I find it hard to believe I would mind being inconvenienced occasionally.

But I don't - and I still would not waste my time being negative and not enjoying what I choose to do with my spare time.

Boy, you really showed them! Maybe next year they'll drop the quota to 45 just to let you know that they're listening and then kick everyone out of the facility after the national and have everyone come back 4 days later for the divisional...

If you want to be star of the show, NHRA sportsman racing just isn't the place to be. They are not hiding from this fact.

See everyone else at WWT Raceway this weekend...looking forward to a nice break from work and having some fun

Re: Stacking at St. Louis
 

I don't think anyone asked to be the star of the show sir just a little ****ing respect is all. They called and couldn't get no one to answer some simple questions so they have chose to go somewhere else where they feel a little more comfortable.
Glad you guys are coming to Galot and can't wait to see you and a slight feeling of relief knowing I don't have to do the reporting solo!!

Re: Stacking at St. Louis
 

See both of you there. And Rockingham as well.

The way that reads is that the only ones who will be parked on Wed are the ones that are going to test and tune!!
