Disappointing for me as well. I'll still be there, running the Modified bracket this weekend as I live just 45 mins. from the track. At least they'll be running Stock, Super Stock, etc. at the Pro-Am the following weekend.

Well Billy Meyer bankrupted the IHRA doing the same thing.

I really am not inclined to run NHRA points races as we have a "No SeaDoo racing policy."

Two years or so ago we were in a rain situation and every day they started the practice rotation over. So SS got zero runs in 3 days before it rained. You would think common sense would prevail. However, the third day it finally was time for us to make our first pass, and the snowmobiles got sent down ahead of us in a marvelous moment of "changing the run order." Needless to say it rained before we got to run...again.

Now we know our priority in points races, so we plan to attend the least amount as possible. Of course why run for poor pay outs anyway? Thus our "no SeaDoo" policy.

I have scheduled race series before for a number of years and it is very difficult to keep everyone happy. The Martin race is a welcome two day race where we as sportsman racers are the focus not the Pros.

Lynn,
Dean won sat. race at cordova and it payed 3800 + with not many stickers.
I didn't look at sunday.

Its going to take time for Scott to turn it around but they are working hard
to get what the monster truck people did to mess it up out of it.

Just wait and give them some time
