Instead of seeing Stock and S/S run they did get to witness some Maple Grove Pro ET vehicles race to win a golf cart .No kidding ....and here's were it really gets funky - the final consisted of Gary Simpers 64 Comet SW ( who won with his cool almost a Stocker entry ) against -- are you ready ? a snowmobile . Somehow this reporter thinks this didn't seem 'right' . Pro ET during prime time on Sunday .After all this was the NHRA Auto Plus Nationals and we had to go to many Lucas Oil races just so we could enter.
Am I wrong ? I was going to let this go but just can't .

Your thoughts ..............
You are not wrong. At the Summernationals they also ran a local 11.5 index class (or was it 11.9, I don't remember). It is nice to showcase the locals but we jump through hoops just to enter a national event.
