Let's see, IHRA planned to run a Sportsnationals race, the Pro national race, an All Star race, the Summit Super Series box and no box bracket race, a Ten Grandslam final (not sure what this is), something called Dash for Cash (not sure what this is either), Tournament of Champions race, elite 8 Pro Stock race, not to mention A/Fuel exhibition and a Jet Truck. I think they should add a junior dragster and a pit bike challenge race. I know they can't control the weather but it seems they try to get too much into this weekend. I feel bad for everyone down there. We went last year and had to wait until Monday also. It wasn't fun.

Its run to late in the year (to cold when the sun goes down and dew on the track) and to many races within a race. Its like putting 10 lbs of poop into a 1 pound bag, How long would it have run if the weather had been great? Whoever wins will have really earned it.

TBell, It would have been much simpler to restrict the Thurs/Fri. race to non-qualifiers only, and have those TOC qualifiers showup Sat. morning. Had they done that, I know of at least 30-35 racers that would have come to the final qualifier race, and if they got beat, would leave for home on Friday; clearing pit space for the qualified. It's like you say; "10 lbs. of s--t in a 2 lb. bag"...been there, done that.
