So in 2 hours and 15 minutes they need to get 50 Super Street, 100 Stockers, 80 Super Comp, 80 Super Stock, and 80 Super Gas cars a time run. That is 390 cars in 2 hours and 15 minutes. 195 pairs in 135 minutes. That is a pretty good click. Looking at the rest of the schedule there is not really enough time to fit any class in for another entire round. from 11 on they have to run 2 sessions of comp, 2 of tafc and tad, 2 PSB, 2 PS, 2 TF, and 2 FC. And they plan on being done by 7 o'clock. Which is probably a good idea looking at what happened when the sun went down last week and what happens when it gets dark at the Dutch. I would be really surprised if any sportsman car get's a round in on Friday. It is going to be a long weekend.

Brian...it's only a long weekend if your willing to go and sit it out.
This is typical of NHRA....why not give racers the option of withdrawing from the event..because they have our money.....I for one am willing to take the $270 hit and stay home if it comes to that...I'll save money. I race for the sport and the fun of it...I don't need this to feed my family or promote my business....too costly to go and just sit around all day with NHRA's revised schedule...had enough of that at Atco !!!!!!!!
