True that Floyd, and I try to have hope that the drag strip will continue to prosper. However, if they don't allow open header racing again, then another one of the primary reasons I chose to move to this part of the country, will be dashed (and not in a way that will still allow me to satisfy my/our love for our kind of racing). We lose that track, and the third closest track to Phoenix area racers is going to be Bakersfield, and at approx. 525 miles away from here, I can think of a few NHRA tracks that are nearly 800 miles away from Denver that would be quicker to get to from there, than Bakersfield is from Phoenix....this isn't what I foresaw when I planned to move here, back in '06, which is
. Thank God for IHRA coming out this way, is all I have to say!
