Re: Dutch Classic Tentative shedule
The only reason we were attending the Dutch Classic was for Class. With that being said, I also understand that the NHRA has a points series that needs to be completed and with lots of people still in the hunt for the titles. To try and do class runoffs, Hemi shootout, full divisional schedule(including Alcohol cars) and run a weekend bracket program is simply unattainable. Kyle has already committed to the bracket program as a means to substitute for the low car count at the Dutch(which is ok); however with morning fog, evening dew setting in between 6-7pm, that leaves maybe 40hrs of track time to complete the entire program. This doesn't take into consideration should the weather not be conducive or any major on track breakage. God forbid we get a week of beautiful forecast, that will add another 100 cars to the already 400-500 coming to begin with. I know the NHRA and Kyle want to try and give us everything promised, but at this point, I believe starting Thursday with the division race and using Sunday as the rain date would make most sense for all parties involved. Class could be doubled up perhaps next year in D1? IMHO
