From Maple Grove website:

Due to persistent showers that started Monday and lasted through today, there will be no Sportsman parking on Wednesday, Oct. 6, for the Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway due to wet grounds.
Parking will begin at 7 a.m. Thursday.
Because of that, Thursday’s portion of Sportsman racing has been canceled.

All classes will get a qualifying run on Friday. The fastest car in each class will determine Stock class winners during qualifying runs on Friday.
The stars of the NHRA Full Throttle Series will race at their scheduled times this weekend.

Why hasn't this been posted on NHRA's website? One would think this would be the 1st avenue of information for major changes like this.

Never mind, it just showed up

From the D1 site:

Thursday’s Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals Sportsman rounds canceled

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10/5/2010

Due to persistent showers that started Monday and lasted through Tuesday, there will be no Sportsman parking on Wednesday, Oct. 6, for the Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway due to wet grounds. Parking for categories from Top Alcohol Dragster through Super Street will begin at 7:00 a.m. Thursday.

As a result, Thursday’s Sportsman racing action has been canceled. Time trials/qualifying will begin Friday with Super Street, Super Gas, Super Comp, Stock, and Super Stock receiving one run prior to eliminations; Comp, Top Alcohol Funny Car, and Top Alcohol Dragster will receive two qualifying sessions. The Professional qualifying schedule remains unchanged.

Re schedule:

Don't see Danny's "meeting" with the sportsman racers to sort out the CJ and DP issues on the schedule. Probably busy.

And conveniently, there are no Super Stock racers there for input.

And now this gives NHRA 1 more day to determine if we can even race there.

[QUOTE=Ed Fernandez;214812]Charlie,I was saying that at Atco this weekend.I paid $270 to run a National.If (and I highly doubt it) I have to run at another track I want a $100 reduced entry fee at my next National event.

Now that all the facts are in I can sympathise with what we're up against with the weather.At least class was sort of saved.Now let's go racing.XXX

I don't understand why would they move sportsman to E-town or Atco? I heard this rumor from multiple people. Is this possible?
