Last year NHRA did indeed permit late withdrawals, which several took advantage of. Wouldn't it be more favorable to run Maple Grove-Charlotte-Dallas? Maybe even put St. Louis following Maple Grove. Don't know that NHRA can outwit Mother Nature but it seems more logical than what it is now.

Last year was a little different as the major rain stopped Tuesday and the sun(?) was out Wednesday and they elected not to park us to allow drying time in the field. When they did park us on Thursday the NHRA was super accomidatimg even doing tech at the racer's trailers to keep move,ent to a minimum.
This year there are showers possible 'til Friday morning. I think you're probably right Brian - the grounds will likely be wetter tomorrow. |

Well the sun is back out and here we sit.
latest weather does not look promising. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick...&FcstType=text NHRA does nothing to further endear itself by not directly telling the racers what is going on. Silence on their part only helps to start rumours, and piss off their customers.

From Kent Hanley:
"From what i was just told Stock, Super Stock , SG and SC will be parked tomorrow Thursday provided conditions permit. ALL racing for Thursday has been cancelled. If the pits conditions do not improve and conditions do not permit us to park tomorrow i have been told they will let us know what they are doing with us early tomorrow. Everything else is just speculation." So we have the same unfortunate situation as last year? One shot Friday and eliminations saturday. F**k you mother nature. |
