I think I am going to save my money. They will probably give the class win to the fastest qualifier.. Theres no fun in that.

Probably because NO ONE else wants the race (at least the divisional), now the JEG's deal, you would think the Coughlin's would hold NHRA's feet to the proverbial fire to maybe putting a little extra into the track for this event, but I guess even they don't have the clout -- good luck to all.

The weather is supposed to be good on sat and sun. 1 time trial in the morning, then class. They are still planning on getting it done in 2 days.

Hey, we are cooking chili. If you are here, come on over. It should be ready around 5.

Other than Memphis being towed out of a LAKE in the pits, Columbus I believe set our own record of being Towed out 3 times. One year from the HIGH ground and after all the units were out it looked like the land had been PLOWED by the Giant tractors. Gee I still miss running there..

Go ahead and drive 8 hours and hang out in the mud with us. The field grass is so high it's ready to bale into hay. You know this place sucks, why would you even think twice?

My second most disliked track.

Unlike Indy, Bowling Green and Tristate "Trails" has never been on my bucket list. I have heard too many negatives for too long.

We had to be pulled INTO and out of a pit spot one year. I know you can't control mother nature but that place is a mess when it rains. Especially if your down in the 'bowl'.
