I'm not sure who scheduled which race on top of which race... whichever one was scheduled last, probably not a good idea. I wouldn't have thought it wise to schedule the race the same weekend as the NCAA and NASCAR both in Texas, in terms of trying to draw fans. However, the stands were full Saturday night.

That being said, I think suggesting that IHRA doesn't care about the sportsman racer is ludicrous when they gave us the opportunity to run *two* national event points claims plus Class eliminations in a single weekend.

I made the tow to Texas from North Carolina. If the car counts were low, look in the mirror.

Even if the race could've been on a different weekend, IHRA did a great job with the race, and it was a great opportunity.
