Phiasco in Foenix

Gary Waldo · 04-22-2010, 02:05 AM

I really don't get what's going on with the Phoenix national and divisional races. When they were cancelled it was announced that completion dates would be posted the NEXT WEEK. Now I can see one week turning into two or even three weeks as you work through a few details/issues, but it's now been two months and there's been no announcement as to when either race will be completed. What in the world is going on? NHRA's probably hoping that we'll all just forget that we paid good money to enter these races and even more money to be present in Phoenix two weekends in a row with zero rounds of racing completed.

*edit*
despite my not being happy that it took two months for the dates to be announced, I must say that I'm pleased with the outcome (at least for Stock eliminator). Both events scheduled at the same track on back to back weekends where at least a significant number of the Phoenix entries would have been attending anyways. Well done.

Maybe with the new immigration bill being passed in Arizona most of the NHRA tech crew and track workers have headed south and elseware to avoid being deported and they dont have anyone to work the staging lanes, etc......lol.
