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.

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........

going into Rd 4, got a tough run this round with Jeff Strickland, doing ok, why trash out our thread with the junk talk. Maybe I need to stop posting for the rest of the trip!

Joe,

Please don't let a few mess up a great trip and a wonderful report to the rest of us at home. Take care and good luck, we appreciate all you do.

Joe I am with you, I was there. You keep posting I enjoy your postings, it was a tough situation and I think it was good that they tried to complete the race. Joe, by the way what happened to strickland in the 2nd rd? He shut down at the finish line and way towed off?
