While we are being honest, the quota for all sportsman is 416 if the fields were full. And they never fill up at Houston. They lost less than 100 cars, and that's a pretty good hit. That's $10,000 in insurance they aren't getting from the sportsman, plus all the entry fees and Crew tickets they lost from people who based their decision on the pit conditions in the past. I'll be sure to post some pictures for you to see what they have done to them this year.

WOW Hagen you did the numbers and NHRA took a Big hit. they must be reading all of our post's and looks like it struck a NERVE!!!!! and they made the track go to WORK !!. that would be great if you would take some pic's and post them. and i guess for us that pulled out helped make room for our Sportsmen friends. i look at it as we wrere Organ doners.we had to donate our organs for others to live!!! hope it does not RAIN so they can get the Race off.good luck to all the Sportsmen Racers.

Hope everybody gets to race without a lot of drama over the mud & weather. Just looked, the Weather Channel says 50% chance of rain Friday, 80% Saturday, and 50% again Sunday. Hopefully just very early or late light showers, if any at all. Good luck to everybody there.

Now with the total sportsman entries in a a whopping 355 cars did NHRA make the right decision..? 500+ in Dallas which most everyone would have stayed companied to 355 in Houston..! NHRA could care less what the sportsman have to say! They could care less about losing 250+ entries just to have it on the scared ground of the PRO's. Yes sportsman get to rase this weekend but it shows that NHRA will continue to race rather the sportsman are there are not.

Sounds like a few banned together and withdrew from a memory a couple years ago and look what happened. Something got done! Maybe if everyone did ban together the pits might have been paved by now. But we will never know. It worked for muffler rule a couple years ago why not asphalt?
