I love the original intent of this post - as a FAN, it is really frustrating to see the classes all mixed up. It can't be THAT hard to run them from A-Z or vice versa. Doesn't NHRA send texts now to tell you when to be in the lanes? Get a text, and if you aren't there in 15 minutes, they run without you. If a Super Comp dragster got in my way from running a round of the Hemi Challenge, my Cuda or Dart would run their little rail over!

As for the whole chiller thing - isn't pitting at Indy decided by who you are or how much $$ your sponsor gives to NHRA to some extent? Joe Big Bucks Racer gets to park 100 yards from the lanes while Joe Little Guy Racer has to park in the back 40, 1/2 mile away through the Super Comp dragsters, Fans, Golf Carts, Harleys cruising the pits, etc. I personally don't have a problem with a "portable pit" as long as it's done out of the way of the lanes.

Whatever happens, I can't wait to get to Indy again!!
