Looks like we (Stock) got the shaft.Doesn't mention class runoffs,only time trial on Thurs and 1st rd Friday.Time for a $100 refund or discount on our next National.Unless they do the so called "modified" class runoffs based on lowest ET on time trial.Either way the little
performance orientated competition we have is taken away from us,and the fans.

Not even a time trial Ed. Just parking. Didn't we all see this coming?

Why hasn't this been posted on NHRA's website? One would think this would be the 1st avenue of information for major changes like this.

Never mind, it just showed up

From the D1 site:

Thursday’s Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals Sportsman rounds canceled

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10/5/2010

Due to persistent showers that started Monday and lasted through Tuesday, there will be no Sportsman parking on Wednesday, Oct. 6, for the Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway due to wet grounds. Parking for categories from Top Alcohol Dragster through Super Street will begin at 7:00 a.m. Thursday.

As a result, Thursday’s Sportsman racing action has been canceled. Time trials/qualifying will begin Friday with Super Street, Super Gas, Super Comp, Stock, and Super Stock receiving one run prior to eliminations; Comp, Top Alcohol Funny Car, and Top Alcohol Dragster will receive two qualifying sessions. The Professional qualifying schedule remains unchanged.

Re schedule:

Don't see Danny's "meeting" with the sportsman racers to sort out the CJ and DP issues on the schedule. Probably busy.

And conveniently, there are no Super Stock racers there for input.

And now this gives NHRA 1 more day to determine if we can even race there.
