Live from Maple Grove Raceway - NHRA Auto Plus Nationals

[Joe Hertline]

I usually don't post at 2:45 pm, but since I've burned vacation time for this race I might as well. Certainly a difficult situation for all as we have no control over the weather, but waiting until Wednesday night to make this decision cost a lot of people (sportsman racers) a LOT of money. I have to think, based on past experiences, that this could have been called last weekend when the initial letter went out - either way, I'll take this as a lesson learned.

I'm really just disappointed to be missing out on the excitement of a national event, like everybody else, but I do appreciate the effort by our sportsman reps to keep us informed. Good luck to all that make it back next weekend.
