The nicest part of this track was a large section of pits that was shaded by large fir trees, it got bulldozed a few years ago to make asphalt for the pro cars. I will gladly drive 1000 miles to the go to the las vegas race over the 200 miles to seattle. I'm fine with going to seattle for the divisional, just don't feel like spending $300 to be treated this badly for the national. I don't think my feelings differ from a lot of the racers up here.

I have heard several comments on the parking problem at Seattle. I think it has been that way for a few years now. There is a Stock Super/Stock combo race at Seattle on Friday the 9th of August. One week away and should be a good one. With the divisional race the following weekend many might leave their cars in the area for both. Contact Jim Boyce or Jim Storms for more info. I don't have contact numbers, but both are at Seattle this weekend. Hope to see 35 or more cars for the combo race.

P.S. Good luck to all this weekend.

Don't know why 25 SS cars in Seattle is so shocking. SS has always had a low turn out as long as I've been going there. Here are the SS car counts at the national as far back as DRC goes:

Yr - Cars
98 - 28
99 - 26
00 - 28
01 - 28
02 - 32
03 - 34
04 - 26
05 - 34
06 - 46
07 - 13
08 - 27
09 - 22
10 - 30
11 - 32
12 - 20
13 - 25

As long as you get there reasonably early you will get pitted up top. Mick and Jackie Alley got there a few hours before they started pulling us in to park. The video doesn't show it, but they are pitted right behind Jody and I.

It`s called beating a dead horse. Car counts are low in some areas. I`m sure the same topic will be brought up next year again too.

My apologies. I never noticed an NHRA SS field that small. I will try to remember if I see that again.

Would be a pretty good one for IHRA.

No problem. It is pretty alarming if you`ve never noticed before.

I noticed that too, Jeff. That car's stance looks sweet.
