What I already said about them parking 2 & 3 wide on the return roads around here blocking it while waiting on their golf carts to show up. If they drove them back we could get back quicker. Not watching the rest of the classes doesn't mean hating them. Just not interested in them. Don't know who you are, or why you think you know so much about me? Have we met?

Very true Ed, I think its just the fact that they allow it and I can't blame them for taking advantage of it. It may be safer for everyone than them guys driving around the pits in one of those things as far back as they sit in the car.

Ed, We run at minimum weight for the class, no power adders and we run hard. We can get back to the pits safely and as fast as you can. We dont screw around. Out here the cars are never side by side on the return road. They might be lined up in a row but not double parked that I have seen. In my opinion there is no need to drive these cars back. These are not Super Series cars and I am not taking anything away from my friends in the 90 classes. These are VERY fast Qualifying bracket cars. When you see Stock, Superstock, Comp, Pro Stock, P/Mod and Top Alcohol racers in the buildup area and on the fence watching the races... That right there tells you something. We are very happy to see NHRA take Top to the next level. You should try fender racing at over 200!

I guess I'm the minority but I'd prefer that all cars with a hood scoop be towed around the pits instead of driven. Super gas included. Perhaps some of you haven't driven a car where a scoop blocks half your vision. Pit areas can get pretty packed with people from time to time.
Stock / SS racers have to be amongst the most dramatic. |

I like the top sportsman cars. Not so much the top dragsters. They are just boring like the other dragster classes. Just my preference though. I don't like having to run right behind either top dragster or super comp. They drag the water way up from the water box doing the across the line burn outs. If the starting line crew does not prep the line after they run it causes problems for the first 5 or 6 pairs. I just lag back a bit if we are running after either one of these classes so I am not one of the first pairs.
