I feel bad for everyone that was there already, but at least they did'nt string you along till Sunday. I have been involved in several of those back in the late 90s. They have learned to make the call in a reasonable time frame. On the good side, no pros in the way next week and better weather. Also all those fans along the road to the lanes will be long gone. This rain bites the big one, I had two trees from Irene take out 24 ft of my shop, and I am rebuilding it myself. Have'nt had a good couple of clean days since. Can't stand much more of this stuff

Exclamation Re: Live from Maple Grove Raceway - NHRA Auto Plus Nationals

11PM update - those who didn't like the call earlier tonight will surely like this -- if the ground wasn't soft enough before it sure is now as the skies just opened up again .This latest round will make the pits impossible to navigate with motorhomes and trailers .

I can't seem to find any news about SS-Stk-SG-SC being postponed on the NHRA home page.

I wonder if they are going to inform the fans about this postponement before they arrive at the track.

It will be quite interesting to see how things will go without the sportsman. If you think about it, there may be big gaps between track action towards the end of the program. I wonder if they are trying to work up some other type of entertainment?

Mike, I thought the same thing last night after the announcement was made; as you said Sunday could be quite interesting.

Personally, I would like to see this as a trend. Sportsmen one weekend and pros the next. I'd like to see the entry fee go down as well, it's increase has been due mostly to the pros in my observation/opinion. Nevertheless, they will charge whatever they can.

Last night it was on the home page; now it is on the Sportsman Racer page. Click on NHRA Racer on the far right of the home page and you will see it.
