Hagen may mistaken. (Whoda thunk it? LOL) SS car count is way down for Houston. Last I looked today was only 41 cars.

I just wanted to let all the NON motorhome owners know that the Holiday Inn gave me a full refund for my room and my friends room. Thank goodness I didn't lose any money! Oh and I didn't lose my $310 for withdrawing from the event either! I get to use that hard earn money to go to another Nation Drag Race event that won't be a mud fest. I surly would like to know how much money will be lost by those attending the race when it's canceled at the last minute. I'm sure the hostels won't understand when you cancel on Thursday or Friday.

I still believe there would have been a better turn out if the race was kept in Dallas!

Ed. look at my time stamp. I posted that Sunday morning. I was correct then. Your post came on Monday night. btw, there are just as many stockers now as there was when I posted. I'm actually happy people pulled out. Now we might not even have to go down the dirt(mud) roads. There is gonna be plenty of room to park along the paved roads. Thanks guys. I'll be at Houston trying to adapt and overcome, as National event winners do, while you guys stay home and wonder when its going to be your turn to win one. And if I have to camp in the mud and watch the pros with all my friends for free because their tickets get refunded, well that ain't so bad either. I'm not going to ruin it all just because it "might" be more convenient for me. Nobody ever said winning a National was easy.

please elaborate. Because I insinuated that You have adapt to different circumstances to win? How about Ed insinuating that I'm wrong about everything? If I am, I'll admit it. If we sit in the mud and get screwed over then I'll say I was wrong. But I'm not going to mess up the whole race because there is a chance it might get messed up. When we get the race in and nobody gets stuck in the mud, you wont see anybody saying they were wrong.

Hagen i hope by the grace of god that the sportsmen get to race but we both know that is very foggy with the weather forcast. you my man may have a job where you can sit at the Mall for five days but most of the Sportsmen Racers don't. we both know that if the Sportsmen pit's were hard we would not be talking about it. Word on the street is that the Sportsmen will Race next week. NHRA is not going to park you in the mud!!! NHRA is doing the best they can with what they have to work with it's not there fault. but they need to talk to managment and fix the problem this is to many times with no dry hard pit's for the Sportsmen. and the Track owners are in the rock and paving business!!!

I see the NHRA has extended the pull out date to thursday. word is that you will not go to the track till monday!!! you will be stacked at the Mall till after the pro's pull out.so if that happens you will not be able to park along the side of the return rode and watch the pro's run. that is the word on the street. Sportsmen Racers need to stick together and all pull out. but we all know that will never happen.if Houston had hard pits for the Sportsmen this would not be a problem. NHRA need's to step up and let the Racers know what is there plan. PS thanks to Billy M. for fixing the pits in Dallas. that problem is solved. and Billy does not own a paving co.

Hagen, I said how many I talked to that said they were *going* to withdraw. I was kidding you about the "Whoda Thunk it." Don't take me so serious.

RUMOR HAS IT.....




....that they are bringing in water-proof asphalt, coated with RAIN-X in the sportsman pits. Also, the race will be run 1/8th mile for all sportsman categories to speed up the race. No heads ups, weighing, or fuel check also to cut down on time.

I also hear they are not going to put up all those hospitality suites and motorhome parking on the pit side to let us sportsman park there. And they aren't even going to set up a huge Traxxas display with dirt track and all. That's going to save about 45 sportsman spots. They also aren't going to have all those T-shirt factories set up in the pits. There is another 30 spots. Man, Rumor has it we are all going to be on the blacktop. And those who aren't will have the grass coated in a special compound developed by D, that is if they don't get tangled up at the scales.
