As far as parking help goes it was funny there was a parking attendant for sportsman golf carts at the grandstand.

I also heard from a few people that the reason that the parking didn’t start till Tuesday was due to the insurance not kicking in till then. I guess if they decided to park Sunday or Monday and something happened to someone it wouldn’t be covered. I’m not sure how true it is but, that was the grumblings in the stands during Friday Night qualifying. You could tell that by Tuesday Night the parking crew was worn thin and beat from being short handed, in fact some fellow .90 racers had to control the lines getting into the place because it started to become a cattle heard when they started to empty out the staging lanes. The first lanes moved and then numbers #450+ started to get in before the 290 & 300’s so they went and controlled the front of the lanes and the joke was that they should send NHRA a bill for their services...lol
