Default Re: what is wrong with the national events

Well, I'm just goin to second and third everything that was said to this point. What a mistake and waist of time and money. My hit Thursday morning ,in the left lane, was the only decent one of the weekend. Friday morning I experienced what must have been tire shake at 800', and as most of you know, my car is a 3200 lb. turd compared to most of SST cars. It has never done anything like that, nor will it probably ever again. First round, as we're headed down the track, I decide I've pretty much had a azz handed to me (which I did) and dump my guy. The back tires locked instantly, and I slid for probably a solid second. Believe me when I say that I did not brake excessively (at least not for other tracks). When watching the NHRA drag the track around 660', I noticed that the drag was not squeeling, AT ALL! To me that don't make sense. Sounded sticky when they walked on it, but I think there is a difference in stick and traction. NHRA needs to change what they are doing, or racers need to quit supporting these events. (HA HA, yeah, I know)

I could not get over the lack of a sense of urgency, when faced with rain on Sunday. I was not watching, so unless the track was getting "worse" as it got later, I could not believe that they did not run longer Saturday night. Then I don't think they started until between 10 & 11 Sunday morning........................with rain coming....................?????????????????

How was the track Saturday night? Was anyone elses 60's slow a BUNCH?

I guess what confuses me most is why poeple wait in line to go through this crap.
