It sounds like that's something that should be brought bought to the SRAC committee.
Has there ever been a policy for alternates?

I agree that is a shame. The only other complaint I have is how stock was treated yesterday morning in the lanes. A bunch of cars pulled to be paired in plenty of time. There was still dew on most of the cars windows. It was 07:45 ish. And one of the nhra ladies in the lanes was going ballistic to pull the cars up. I mean yelling and screaming “if you want to race pull these bleeping cars up now or we will send you home”.
I was very surprised by this. It’s not like it was 8:20 and no one moving yet. It wasn’t even 08:00 yet. I get that some folks always want to lay behind. But this was ridiculous. It wasn’t even the scheduled start time yet and dew was everywhere.

What I don't understand is why they do not have designated pairs for rounds 2 and later? My first 3 time tickets from eliminations had times of 8:01, 8:04, and 8:09! I wonder if any fans that show up on Monday wonder where all the sportsmen cars went? First time that i ever remember that they took it down to 2 cars in each sportsmen category. Big rumor for next year is that IRP is getting a big make over with the Pro pits moving to the west side, and the tower being replaced also. NHRA is spending the millions they got from the Atlanta track sale. No word and where the other classes will pit.
