Paul,

Thanks for sharing your story with us. We often only hear the "bad news stories and it is refreshing to hear the "good news."

Kudos also to Mark Faul for explaining your situation to IHRA

The event in Edmonton has received a bad rap over it's 5 year history. Two of the five years at the event have been met with sunshine and the rest have been met with copious amounts of rain resulting in disastrous pit conditions. Castrol Raceway has made yearly attempts to deal with improving the pits but the "rain" issue keeps coming back to haunt all racers.

There are many racers who have NOT made the return trip to Edmonton after experiencing pit parking difficulties. It is those racers IHRA, Castrol Raceway and fellow racers need to entice back.

Hopefully this good news story gets out to those racers!

Now if only IHRA and Castrol Raceway could do something about having to be there "3 days" in advance to get into the pits, that would be an accomplishment.

Cheers!
