So he then knew it would be a while cause they had to go through the whole PRO SHOW and A fuel. So he sent them back instead of making them sit in the lanes. Then the SHOW took so long by the time they were done it was scheduled to start over. That's what happened. Now stay off your soap box keyboard and get your show car out of the garage and get the real story.

As I said, I wasn't there. Should have been pretty clear. I'm sure you can read it. But my soapbox came straight from a racer that was there, in the lanes and ready to race. A small amount of SS racers were in the lanes, ready to race. A real story by a trusted source.
If the racers want to drag their butts to the lane on their schedule, and it makes it impossible to get to the pros ON TIME, then expect to be rescheduled when time permits. Sorry to inform you but the PRO's and on air TV time is the show as far as NHRA is concerned. Yes, that's a soapbox production from me who has seen this problem at races (that I am entered) time after time, in Stock over a 13 year period.

Your first post to me came across hard on the racers. I will agree they take there sweet time, but in this case they were there and ready. Everybody should have known they were getting bumped as soon as they saw the schedule first thing in the morning. But like i said i was right there with Harold when he got the call. No need to beat a dead horse but that is how it went.
