If you don't make it, there will always be plenty of other races to go to.

I too hope that the weather forecasters will be wrong this Sat., because if they're not, then there's going to be many more people upset with only getting one run to qualify with than there were those who even suggested giving up an eventually great (but wasted Monday) afternoon, and/or an awesome Tuesday to complete the nationals!

I feel bad for the sportsman racers who couldn't stay for the divisional, and thus wasted there gasoline & finances (in this economy most of us can nil afford such, but the extra day or two would've been ok, and the better weather was forecasted as well). Furthermore, if the forecasters are right then all of the five classes not contested at the nationals will definitely be screwed with only getting one qualifying run (I bet they'll be real happy with that...NOT, especially since nearly 2/3's of Friday's schedule will be gobbled up with running out the nationals!!??), as well as those of who were hoping to set e.t. records....after-all those classes with unset records just need a run of .2 quicker than the index to set them now (at least as things stand now)!

I'm thus glad that I don't have a Comp. or a Top Sportsman car, because if any of the door cars are as quick as the Pro Stockers (and don't have the ability to use downforce creating items), they're going have possible issues with that left lane too, and whatever funds Thursdays Test n Tune brings in will not come close to what they need to resurface that track to make it safer for all cars....it's situations like these that make me glad my car is a slower roller, and a cheaper tower!!!
