I don't blame anyone for being upset at waiting for days and getting a crappy spot, NHRA knows exactly how many racers are going to show up and need to appropriately allocate spots.
I think this is a bunch of B.S. ive been to much worse tracks than Seattle! theres grass, trees, gravel and pavement. it is what it is.i watched Jody win (2) classes and he was pitted in the gravel. so the bottom line is don't bash our race tracks, you can win from any pit spot your givin.
