Default Re: Live from Maple Grove Raceway - NHRA Auto Plus Nationals

Jack I commend you for telling it from the chest...and yes them coming to the racers personally to convey what needed to be done is commendable as well. You take the time and effort to keep racers (and wannabes) informed and certainly do not deserve disrespect. If people are truly fed up with NHRA they should take their $$ elsewhere, might work to the benefit of all by making the suits realize that we are one of their biggest customers and they should be working to improve things for us.

I've been planning on running the Keystones for 2 years now but given their facility issues I end up withdrawing when the forecast looks ominous. Why can't they schedule this race to be the first race in the countdown? Seems logical to me that it would go Reading-St. Louis-Charlotte-Dallas and then head west. Would at least give them a fighting chance against Mother Nature.
