My take on the Indy schedule - Page 2

It is unfortunate that to most of the NHRA upper staff it's JUST A JOB, nothing more. Yes there are some that love the sport, but they are the minority.

NHRA - - We don't care, we don't have to.

R.I.P. Wally Parks and THANK YOU for starting a great organization that, unfortunately, is not what it used to be, but could be again - with some internal help and passion.

Gray Vs Shaul...wonderful....BUT lets not forget
INDY 2010
A/S. McCormick vs Calvert....THE BEST EVER

Since I happened to be in the stands that day, a little something to cheer everyone up.

I don't see the problem it's still INDY. I've never been. It's a BUCKET LIST race for me and maybe one day I can go

I am glad that I had the opportunity to race at Indy before these changes! Unfortunately I see this as the new norm for National events. At Charlotte we spent a complete day waiting to be pitted and the next morning (Friday) we got two qualifiers and right into the first round of the eliminator. It is a damn shame that NHRA is ruining our hobby!

It's a damn shame that it was allowed to stop being a "Sport" so that it could become a "hobby"!

I'm glad our Indy experience was in 2019. This year we'll be leaving BG, spending Monday at the Corvette museum and Tuesday running my Corvette on the road course. Then heading home with the $800 I spent at Indy on 1 tech card, gate fees and insurance home with me.
