Re: "Live" from Bristol 2016
Holy Pro Cars, NHRA !
Not one Pro category is a full field today-- (or most of previous events -Englishtown was a shock) ..(so far) ! Are the Pro Stocks just going to let a Summit car get a bye almost every event? Are the marginal fuel guys just saying not worth the effort? The money ..? |

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2016
Unless you are "really well funded" lots of them can probably make a few de tuned passes as a booked in show and have less hassles less expenses and do a little "testing" at a local track and make some money. Don't ya think?

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2016

A few years back, their track rework went bad, and it got postponed from the usual April/May time frame to the 4th of July weekend. Everyone there was constantly saying "jeez, it's sweltering and miserable, there's no air, for people or cars, I hope they NEVER do this again". So, of course, now they run it this time every year. And on Father's day weekend usually, not to mention the same weekend as the Hot Rod reunion in Bowling Green. For crying out loud NHRA, wake up and smell the coffee, Bristol races need to be in March or April in the spring, and September or October in the fall. It's one of my 2-3 favorite facilities, we love it, but it is miserable up there in the summer.
