Chris, with the advent of technology and the overwhelming information we received from all the weather station, we could see that the influx of rain from Tropical storm Isaac was going to dump between 5`` to 10 `` this was a no brainer. I feel for all those people who have all lost their holidays but we can`t control the weather, just bad luck. The weather was fantastic Wed. to Saturday am, I have to say that NHRA did a great job moving the show along considering all the bad news coming their way with the remnants of Isaac, we all knew that there was going to be two days if not more of rain.CR

2003 all over again, i AM SO GLAD THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE T0 SUFFER THROUGH ALL THAT ANOTHER TIME

Couldn't remember the year.
We had about six inches of water all the way around the coach and trailer for about three days.
Beautiful weather the next weekend though.

Looks like the ones that left on sun were the smart ones, the sportsmen know that the first out will be the pros so they will sit all day as far as vacation time they used it all last week how much more would a working man have left to stay another day?

In 1980 it rained out. They tried to do it on Tuesday. No go. They got most of it in on Wednesday. Finished Stock, and I believe Superstock on Thursday.
There were 2 people in the stands that Thursday. Diamond P used the standby cameramen on Thurday. They didn't have a clue about handicap racing.

YEAH. I wondered about all those trailers parked near that gulch in the sportsman pits. Just hope everyone made it out as painlessly as possible. With the ground as it is, the excess water is going to seek the lowest possible point.

Really feel for the guys that won't be able to return.

How they going to repark everybody for next weekend...open gates on Friday or what? Or maybe it won't be a problem?
