Don, I am with you all the way................I also started out as a Division 5 racer (from Omaha).

The perception is that Denver does not care about the Sportsman racer....(except Comp) for the National Event......whether that is right or wrong....that is the perception as evidenced by the responses here. The fact of the matter is that John Force brings in the fans and we don't.

Bandimeres' probably do care, but are not able or can't do anything about it. I would like to know.

If......Bandimere's or NHRA would come on here as say: 1. It costs too much to improve the sportsman pits for one event a year............or 2. we have tried to build facilities in the sportsman pits, but the city won't let us........3. Announce beforehand that facilities are substandard...........

I believe (know) that us racers are compassionate and would understand a reasonable explanation.

In the mean while, like you Don, we will stay parked.
