Default Re: Dallas or Houston

Mr. Bill,
I think you answered part of your own question. Owners are in it as business - for money only.
NHRA does not seem to care about sportsmen and neither does HRP... They invested in the spectator parking lot. That tells you what is important to them. Selling hotdogs and beer to the huge market of people they have that will come to see the pros. One of the largest cities in the country, they dont need a big sportsmen field. They just need the crowd in the stands for the pros.
With all the issues there over the years, IF NHRA cared, they would tell them to do something about it, but they dont...
Shame, but it is just the same story on and on. National Events are about the pros and getting people in the stands.

I think some forget Motorplex used to be a mud pit in the sportsman area. Billy Meyer and NHRA came to an agreement it needed to be taken care of and they laid the gravel. Is it the best solution? Probably not, everyone complains about the rocks but atleast tomorrow when most of the rigs leave they can drive out of the gate rather than be towed out like in Houston.

I choose to skip the Houston national and head to Holly Springs, MS for the southern footbrake challenge. Not a hard decision at all to be honest Houston is going to be a mess even if there's no rain from Thursday-Sunday.
