Re: "Live From" the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals.
Maybe someone in line can confirm this - got a text from another racer in line saying - now that the sun is out the weepers have begun, NHRA is drilling holes in the track and finding water.

Re: "Live From" the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals.
Come on now, Don.. did Sal put you up to that one??.. cause that's funny right there.. or not.. it is NHRA that would drill holes in a new surface to find water, knowing full well that it's already there.. I'm just sayin'...

Re: "Live From" the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals.
Latest update..... pits are drying out nicely and they could park us if they wanted to. I guess the key word is "wanted".
As you can see the sun is out, although it is still on the cool side. Here a shot of the mud wrestling pit, they started clearing early this morning, it should be a fun day tomorrow. |

Re: "Live From" the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals.
Why can't Maple Grove PAVE part of the grass area where all of us sportsman racers park ???
They just need to pave where the tires go on the tow vechicles or at least put stone down, then it wouldn't be such a mud bowl. I felt sorry for all you guys that went to Gainesville that year and couldn't take your cars out to Sunday. That's just plain B.S. And we pay $270. for entry fee..... We need to start our own organization: SHRA.... where we call the shots... |

I asked Lex the very same thing and was told the field is leased and they can make no improvements on it...............Who else remembers when NHRA drilled holes in the track at Englishtown to "relieve" the pressure??.......I went thru the traps sideways,and had water dripping out of the fenderwells at that race!......must have had 40 workers with white towels mopping up after every pair.................Tom

Re: "Live From" the NHRA Toyo Tires Nationals.
Man after what you guys and gals went thru last week at ATCO I hope it isn't another lost weekend. Two weeks in a row ( fuel, entry, race gas, food, hotel, blah blah blah gets expensive) when no racing takes place. Good luck.
