Finishing the Dutch on Monday?

Does anyone want to blast NHRA for postponing the conclusion of the Dutch like we did for IHRA extending the World Finals last weekend?

Just a thought here
if you know maple Grove and you understand the time of the year it is
Dont you think it is safer to complete this during the day??

When the sun goes down this time of year at the Grove the dew is a big time problem. I just got home from there and my brother is still in the 4th round of S/C when they called the race until Monday. I guess safety was on there minds for the racers.

The decision should have been expected by anyone who was there on Friday. The 2nd qualifying sessions for Comp. Top Dragster, and Top Sportsman were cancelled because they could not finish them before sundown. Quite a few times, the announcement was made that they could not run after sundown due to unsafe track conditions. With the number of rounds remaining in all categories yesterday morning, it should have been fairly obvious that they were not going to be able to complete the race before sundown. Safety always should be the top priority.
