Anybody know why Paul Wong was DQ'd ?

So what I find a bit frustrating right now, is that the schedule right off the bat was compressed/advanced based on the notion that Sunday was a rain date.
Start on Wednesday, and then right into class also on Wednesday afternoon after 1 hit. Ok, I get it, This leaves Sunday as the rain day.

So now here we are on Friday, not a drop of rain yet, and yes, tomorrow looks like rain, however Sunday looks fabulous.
But sorry, forget about the original plan for Sunday rain date, we are heck bent to get it all done today.
It’s almost 22:00 and none of the traditional classes have even had e2 yet.
And trust me, I’m not an nhra basher at all. But this really doesn’t feel right.
And I have no dog in this fight because I’m out already.
This was a $450 race for all of us…..and many folks drove massive amount of miles to attend.

Right after losing a second time in two days by spinning hard … probably not the best time to vent. But…

If this DD continues to focus mostly on the schedule instead of having a starter that understands how to keep up the very thing we are there to drive our neat cars down… we are in trouble. Both events so far have had a “schedule first” feel instead of a quality product for the customer.

Well we are on our way home after our spin fest in round one yesterday! We had a great time but hate to get beat that way! It should have been a great race but we will never know! Even Bohannon spun that round and he said that Corvette never spins!! They got round 2 in of both classes last night it I didn’t stay up to watch! Way past my bedtime!

I blew the tires off also the first rd at home now. to me, the track was very inconsistent

Jeff, I watched this yesterday. Nice to see these other types of racers discovering Stock and SuperStock

[Kevin Panzino]

Are the results that far behind, or have they still not yet run the Stock or Super Stock finals?

[jeff_kovalik]

Thanks... I'm just along for the ride on my daughters YT channel. The video has been well received and has a good amount of views. I think class racing is so special and deserves to be shared with those who may not understand it or been exposed to it.

Stockers are way cool....

(super stock is ultra-super cool)
