Deja vue?

Beginning to sound a lot like Rockingham 'eh Danny?

I feel for you guys.

Glad we passed on continuing on to Phoenix with the CJ car.

The rumor going around the pits is that they have canceled the national and will run it somewhere else (most likely Vegas) and they will try to run the divisional. Whatever doesn't get finished here will be run at Tucson.

Again, this is just a rumor.

Are you f'in kidding me. So those rich overly paid sportsman racers that have waited an entire week can now travel to Tucson or hey maybe Vegas. Guess this is how to guarantee a car count. Glad I gave it up. Chad if and when you do race good luck. Too all please be safe!! That place has and still is a mess.

This is what I just received after drivers meeting:
Here's the deal - the National event is called and will be at another track to be announced. They are going to try and run alcohol today and then make a decision about whether to run the rest of the Divisional.

They are picking up where they left off with super comp. The word is if you have already made a run, you are done for the day.

Sounds like most of the super compers are getting down the track OK.

Still no official word on the national yet.

Wow there has to be a lot of racers more than upset (to put it lightly)....seems like track prep or "reconstruction" should occur before the event, at least on Thursday.......unless of course the track suddenly decided to deteriorate on Friday of the race......we don't have many tracks out west and need a respectable safe place to race especially in Arizona.....it will be interesting to hear more on this story........from racers who are there.....surely I'm not.......really a bummer for all involved.
