The second round of class was most of what I said, shutting off early. Some of these cars are going to get hp because they went to fast early in the day, so why they are shutting off now. I'm not in the position to get hp so I am not judging their decision, I just would like to understand why. I think there was two races that the drivers ran it out.

Today was my first time watching a 1000' race. It was still cool, but something that I will have to get used to if I am going to run with the NHRA. I guess that I have to build a "ringer" that is fast enough first!

I enjoyed meeting you today. And thanks again for the Forum.

Good Luck,
