This included dragging, spraying track before they came out. I don't think that would kill your travel time. Most racers on this forum long for the 1970s when there were 1000 cars at a divisional with packed stands, top fuel, pro stock, etc. Did you finish on Saturday back then?

Most racers long for the 1970's because there was a specific set of rules with fair and equal application of tech inspection. That's a whole different discussion though.

If we're going to run Alcohol on Sunday, then there's no need to have a three day divisional. Turn it into a Saturday-Sunday event...Time Runs Saturday, Eliminations on Sunday.

One time run of wheelstanding door cars is much more exciting to watch than one time run of Super Comp. I'm sure that was planned on purpose to have those cars runs as filler at that time, even Super Gas...again, fast door cars. You missed my point on the Alcohol Time Trials on Saturday. 12 dragsters and 10 funny cars in two sessions, as opposed to 8/8, 4/4.
