It can be difficult to be neutral, but I do try to be objective. I did a lot of research before getting into Stock and a major factor was that I would not have enough time off from work or money to race for a NHRA championship. So I went with IHRA. But that's just me.

But back to the 2 or 3 day race....So we pay the same or a little more to "play" for 2 days instead of 3. But in the 3 day deal, we start to "play", then it's time for the 'big boys" and we have to get off the court. Sometimes they make a pretty big mess and we still can't go back until the mess is cleaned up and they finish. So, basically, we're "paying" for a whole day, but only get to play when it's convenient for the Pros - we get only a 1/2 day or less? Waiting on them is a waste of our time.

In the 2 day deal, sportsman play all day without interuption, without having to sit on the sidelines, all the way until late afternoon/early evening when the Pros are scheduled. Any delays would be from within our ranks or mother nature, as is the case with the 3 day version. But no interuptions or having to wait on the Pros.

That's the best I can do to see it from my perspective.
