Live from Maple Grove Raceway - NHRA Auto Plus Nationals

The right call would have been to: watch the weather forecast and realize that with the past month's rain, predicted weather forecast and the past issues with the sportsman fields, postpone the sportsman portion of the race on Monday(Tues. am at the latest).

To do so would have been financially considerate of the Sportsman racers. All of you that are praising NHRA and the local track management may not be such suck a$$es if you had just towed 8 PLUS hours (one -way) and then got stuck with your hotel rooms for the week.
I am guessing that the field conditions could not be accurately a$$essed until Wed. Late afternoon (after the majority of Sportsman racers have already made the tow)?

I wonder what "enhancement" this latest abortion will now lead to?
