I just talked to one of the NHRA officials, 7AM tomorrow they will be pulling rigs in. There are about 80 rigs in the holding area at present.

Good morning all. Hats off to the NHRA parking crew. Great job getting us in an parked. I was told they would start at 7am today, and sure enough the rigs were moving in at 6:45am.

It looks like most of the rigs that were stacked are all parked. pretty dam good to get it done in less than 3 hours. No waiting at the credential trailer, great job there also.

Not sure what the problem was on Tuesday not letting us stack. I did here that someone got a little upset that a dozen or so rigs were let in. There is so much parking space around here, it makes no sense. The rigs that could not stack on Tuesday, parked in the pro holding lot. There was no security at the Pro lot, but it was okay to park there, go figure. There was security at the sportsman lot. A nice gentleman at the sportsman lot was more than glad to lets us park until he got the word to stop. All I can say is in spite of these ridiculous decisions from the top, the guys in the trenches (parking crew) always seem to come through for us sportsman, good job guys.

I need to find a new profession that will allow me to be at the race track on Tuesday.

Tomorrow is fun day at the Four Wide's, we have Class and Factory Showdown. Could this be gear head nirvana? We have not heard a word about testing at Galot. We have no idea who was there or how fast they went. We hope to have more to report later.

The track was not scheduled to be open for anything on Tuesday. The schedule lists stacking to begin on Wednesday, with pit parking and registration on Thursday, qualifying on Friday.
