Quit your bitching and go to the track and race. With the economy the way it is these days we damn sure can't be picky what tracks we go to or there will be no tracks left to go to.

Thinkin' some of you guys think just cause you have 100k in your race program you're important to "the show". When the fans are coming to the track for Stock/SS you can complain about the pit spots. until than if you like to have fun racing your car quite worrying about something as stupid as a pit spot... Pre-Madonnas...

Damn hbm he is just saying he got there 3 days early and got a ****ty spot go take a shot and calm down i would be pissed to if they put someone up front at the last minute must have been a big name racerLOL i guess next time bob save ur days off and get there late?

The only thing I miss about NOT being there is hangin out with my friends!!!!! The pit parking sucks.

It's kind of funny if you do get to the track early you feel you deserve a closer pit spot! Human nature I guess....I over heard a racer who got the worst pit spot ever in Seattle....really a mile away from the starting line, jumped out of his truck and said "ya I think I can win from here". Put it all in perspective! Just wish I was there......I would take a bad pit spot, it would be a treat, just to go racing!

Ok i need to say something here...first of all the upgrades to the track...i have personally seen the plans for a major track upgrade where they will turn the track 90 degree`s so the afternoon sun will not be an issue anymore...the dragstrip will be totally seperate from the road course...This thing is beautiful....NOW why is it not done and this is where you can come in and help; It`s because of all the Tree hugging/Bed wetting folks who live next to the tract and the are pulling out all the stops to not only stop this project but to shut down the track for good...So get involved at the forum meetings and show your support for the future of drag racing in the northwest and if you cant attend just write a letter and send it to the track and they will collect then and take the the meeting to show support from the racing community...We have a powerfull voice if we use it.

Now Pitting.....yes it sucks, been there done that...But think about this as you load your trailer to go home (hopefully with a Wally)...Dont you start at the front and work your way back so you dont trip over anything?...wish i was there...even on the road course.
