I do not know the reason for the re-run, but i have seen it happen before at national events.

What an experience for what we pay to get in and time away!

Not sure what else they could have done with the weather conditions. I was the only really fast car for that late night qualifying. The super gas cars coming off the throttle stop I think would be more of an issue so they sent stock out last.

I don't know what to say, I have a much better experience at the divisions races, but winning a national is special. Nothing has changed over the years, so we can accept it or we just don't go. Its not what racers want to here, but there is not much we can do about it.

The thread was started to see if changes could be made. Will changes happen, I just don't know. Do I want to stop racing... no, so I deal with. Do I get pissed off at times... I sure do, but they are the only game in town.

Their not the only game in town, just the only game most everywhere in US.

Lot of racers on here from time to time wondering how NHRA would fund their Natl event extravaganza s without our entry fees. With fuel prices being what they are,they might find out this year

It looks like although the fans will get to see sportsman racing if they arrive early, we on NHRATV will not. hopefully it comes on before the 2 hours as it shows right now

It is on NHRA.TV right now, they just called Super Comp and Super Stock to the lanes.
