The other thing they are missing is that when we get new racers into the HHRA style of racing they are kept from participating in a National event for over a year. I know a lot of people like the three day event schedule but if we have to go back to racing on Thursday for sportsman qualifying maybe that should be offered as an option. You could still run one round of qualifying on Friday with people having the option of being there on Thursday if they if they wanted additional qualifying shots. The way I see it if you let more racers in and if you had to run one round of some or all of the eliminator so on Friday it would get the car count down to the same number or less cars than we have on Saturday with the current schedule. Peter Clifford told me at Houston that they wanted to insure the best experience for the racers attending the race. I certainly understand wanting people to enjoy themselves but they are currently excluding other dues paying competitors from competition.
