Day 12: "On Hold"
938 am, wind blowing hard, mist in the air and i seen where schedule was put on DRC, but bottom line, no announcements to the lanes or what is going on, so it will be a long day, thank goodness for a bye next round! I'll post later

Getting what is hopefully the last of our showers for the day. Once this is past, we'll look at going 1/8 mile racing to finish up the event today.

Really? I guess it's better than a postponement but that kinda sucks. Guess there's no more complaining about IHRA points races being 1/8 mile.

660 at Rainesville....that will screw some people up.

I`d love the chance to run 1/8th mile! Loading up would be a waste of time and money to just give up like that.

Hardly a fair comparison, but our last bracket event came with the main timing system dying early Saturday morning. The only option after proving it couldn't be repaired was a port-a-tree setup good for 1/8 mile only. My only complaint was we have a 1/2 mile shutdown and no early pull outs so the program was a little pokey. It may have messed with a few racer's minds, but it was no different to me; launch the car, row the gears, watch my competitor as we approach the finish line........
