Re: U.S. Nationals schedule
This schedule is a direct result of the All-Stars being held at Indy. Hopefully it goes back to Chicago or even SN in Columbus next year! However with that being said, we could have easily given all sportsman classes 2 hits on Wednesday, including Comp, TD and TS, if NHRA ran it like they did years ago and ran us until way past the sunset! Then we could have done STK/SS Class Runoffs Thursday. Now we will have a few hours at best to prepare for Class Runoffs instead of an entire day! I guarantee with the schedule proposed we will be done before 6pm on Wednesday...other than a few 4 and 5 round class runoffs. If NHRA wants us to sacrifice our experience at the Big Go, then perhaps they should concede on the AHFS as a remedial consolation prize!!! God knows that the polls show that we do not want it in affect...or do the polls only count when its in a certain groups favor?!?!
Please reach out to your SRAC Reps and VP of Competition - Ned Walliser to voice your displeasure. All other NHRA personnel will not be able to assist with either of these issues(Run Schedule and/or AHFS)
The only silver lining is that the Hemi guys will most likely run E1 on Thursday to get more data for their Hemi Shootout Friday; therefore hopefully eliminating the over abundance of alternates and competition singles that has taken place in the last half decade!!!
PS: Parking use to always start on Monday's until they got rid of Tuesday Tech(one of my favorite parts of Indy, BS'n with fellow competitors from around the continent in the lanes all day)
