D6 at Mission

[Carguy49]

UPDATE on Mission - - - Rumor has it that the NHRA official trailer was NOT at Mission. Not sure of the reason, just what I heard.

That is probably why nothing on live timing or DRC.

Here is the report from Mission;

13 stockers, 9 super stockers....very light also in other LODRS classes. The border is still an issue due to VAX requirements.

No NHRA trailer, but a couple representatives. Needed way more IMO. Bruce Flodin and I had a heads up 1st round and they were checking for dial ins.....

On top of the LODRS program, they ran just about every bracket class they could come up with and we also dealt with smoky skies and rain (what's a divisional at Mission without rain) before Sunday eliminations.

I have attached the final results.

Just to follow up on the last weekend, this was an absolute cluster as far as NHRA rescheduling Mission for this weekend. Between the NW class racer dbl header and the Bremerton race already having the the 10 & 11 Sept weekend allocated, what did they think was going to happen? There were even a few racers that went to Earlville. Any time racers have 3 options, no one is going to win and in the end, no one did. I sort of flipped a coin and went to Yakima but I certainly would have gone to both races if they had not conflicted. As far as I am concerned, this is NHRA's fault more than anything. One last thing, my RU at the combo race paid better than winning at a divisional, maybe NHRA should take that into consideration as well. Gande won $4000 for the weekend, seems like he made the best choice.

Thanks Brian for the info. When I last looked at the You Tube coverage it didn't show the finals, probably does now. Thanks again for the info and see you soon.

Jim is right. I didn't see a dustbowl either.

And apparently there was some sort of confusion in the Comp Final.Ryan Warter was declared the winner over Ralph Van Paepeghem after a tower review of the timing system data.
