I agree I don’t think anyone here really wins no matter what you do someone will always be un-happy only people that win here is NHRA

Wow, there's a lot of different takes on this.

I'm retired myself but if I can arrive Friday and get the same number of qualifying runs as I would have in a 3 day event, I like that. It does save me the extra day in a hotel and some food expense as well.

But I can see for others it adds up differently. Can't please everyone. For my money I'm fine with either 2 or 3 day events. What I won't do is still show up on Thursday and spend a lot of money for a couple of test & tune runs.

Of course it doesn't matter for me this year as I have a schedule conflict. I'll be racing the Summit Series race at Wild Horse Saturday night.

Here in D2 it's been a two day race all year. Sunday is for the rain date. Jim

Jim you remember a time shot on Saturday or the good ole days don't look for your checks in the mail Friday the mail man went racing LoL !!!!!!!

Maybe I should have made it a little clearer. Thursday is early parking and tech, Friday is qualifying, Saturday is eliminations. If eliminations gets rained on, we have Sunday to finish. Jim

I like it. Except that Stock is always first or second out. A bit tough on guys who drive all night Thursday after work.
If you've ever watched them dick around , getting the booths open at Wild Horse , you'd understand my concern.
Tucson..Different story. They act like they appreciate your business.

I hate to get political here but we have lost foucs of our. Goal maximizing car counts making a little round money enjoying our sport the friends along the way in division 2 we started having 2 day friday and Saturday with no clean up for new arrives most working men and women work Monday -Friday. The working person may have to travel all night after work on Friday but still wakes up with the same dream of his Wally the problem is that truck driver Plummer i.e. Tradesman that has paid his dues for 35 years can't seam to get his grade points or even think about a national event entry in his division I know of several dedicated racers that have supported this program for 35 or paying memberships loosing hope I know of at least 10 stockers and super stockers in my area just sitting anyone know why??? Im pretty fortunate I'm single own a couple company's l can come and go when ever let's start on wendsday at 9 race till noon go to lunch at 12 play around of golf and go home at 5 I'll be on the boat Friday by 3 forget about the other guy there only be 10 or of us it be fun for couple more weekends let's go !!!!

Kinda sounds to me like this is going to happen whether anyone likes it or not. Just make the blanket 'We talked to the racers and they all loved the idea' statement...
