Live from the Sportsman Spectacular

I feel like the weather was a issue for some, the mixed forecast had me thinking about the decision to go or not mid week but decided to go anyway. The WFC at Bristol pulled some people also but I feel alot of NHRA guys are probably just not willing to come because their budgets don't allow it. By the time they run their divisional and national races on their schedules there may just not be the time or money left so I can respect that. I think this may be the reason for them not participating more than some of the reasons we often think about, just don't think that its because its IHRA or the format. But then again, what do I know? Maybe some of the guys can let us know if I'm right or not.
