Houston Sportsman cancelled

[Hagen Gary]

I am truly surprised that NHRA decided to refund the crew member tickets. They can't pay for everyone's fuel and other moneys spent, but I thought I would receive it in my Anus for the crew tickets and I didn't. That’s $400 coming back to my friends and family. Kudos to NHRA for lubing it up first. I’m still not excited about how it turned out. They had plenty of time to run us after the Semis of the Pros at 3pm and could have easily finished on Monday if need be. They were there for pro testing anyway. Like Jeff said, it’s the pits that were the problem, not really NHRA.
Keep in mind that refunding all the sportsmen means that somebody had to pay for the insurance that the pros require. I wonder if NHRA absorbed that loss or put it on the Track.... I sure hope the track did because this isn't the first time that this has happened at Houston in my short racing career. They have made improvements to the pit, but not in the area the paying customer pits at. It’s still a mud pit and looks very bad on them and Royal Purple. I wonder if Royal Purple would be interested in hearing how they are a title sponsor of a track that doesn't give a crap about people who buy their product. Isn't that how special interest groups get it done?
