[Adub464Q]

While everyone is the first to harp on NHRA for a decision, I thought the decision to run first round on Friday was a great call. We were all watching the weather forecast for Saturday and there was a great chance of rain. Did NHRA get lucky on Saturday, absolutely. They battled sprinkles on and off for most of saturday, but did their best to get everything in.

For those that weren't there, I can't remember too many people complaining about running first round on Friday. The only mild discomfort there was, is stock was in the lanes Friday evening between the pro sessions for first round and they sent us back to the pits. Trey Capps was trying to get stock first round in on Friday, and Josh Peterson shut that down in favor of making the live TV window for qualifying. Those are the FACTS.

We were also sent back to the pits when it started raining Saturday morning, again, not something I would argue with NHRA about.

Again, we all point out the negatives but let's think about the positives here. All racing was complete on the scheduled day (Sunday) and we were even fortunate to have class eliminations complete on Friday as well.

MOST IMPORTANT PART (YES ALL CAPS ARE NECESSARY)....WINNING CLASS PAID CONTINGENCY. CANT BELIEVE NO ONE HAS POSTED ABOUT THIS. CONTINGENCY FOR CLASS IS BACK! If someone has mentioned this already from previous events this year, my apologies but this was a major surprise to those of us that came off the scales after class on Friday.
