Re: Racing at Indy?
Watch for the entry fees to go up soon to make up the difference in lost revenue at Indy!!!!!!

Re: Racing at Indy?
The answer is obvious to me. Jay Hullinger and NHRA Division 3 has all the money they want! Why else would you close the fields with such a poor turnout. OMG Super Stock didn't even go down the track. This makes no good sense.

Re: Racing at Indy?
Before anyone starts organizing a lynch mob because of closed fields at the scheduled rerun, maybe everyone should read the original schedule for the Indy event posted on the Division 3 website dated 3/3/2010.
www.nhradiv3.com Those who did read the schedule know that tech closed at noon on Saturday. That means that the fields were secured when tech closed on Saturday and the event was not postponed until Sunday morning at 9:30.

Re: Racing at Indy?
Travis,
I can certainally understand the schedule but Mother Nature had different ideas. Perhaps NHRA could make another $5,000 dollars or more and make many racers happy too. Remember it is the first race of the year for Division 3. It's a Win Win for everyone. Just my opinion. John Dinkel

Re: Racing at Indy?
Travis,
I agree with what the flyer said but it didn't mention 80% chance of rain for the weekend. It would have been foolish to travel 17 hours round-trip with that forecast, agree? If no races have been ran, everyone gets a qualifying shot or time run, then why not open the entries up to the guys who decided not to throw away $500 in diesel fuel? Seems foolish to not create an opening for what could easily be over 100 cars to enter the LODRS event. Not my decision of course, but I wouldn't turn down a probable $20K in entries and pit passes. SOunds like the event could use more cars for sure. Thanks for your response on this site, at least you stated the NHRA position, that is much better then ignoring it. Jok |

Re: Racing at Indy?
Rules are rules. If you wanted to race then you should have been there.
