Then with the cold and rain, the schedule is behind and the sportsman racer gets "crapped on again" and have to finish up after the Pro show is complete.

A lot of guys showed up Thursday (or late Wed) and lost Thursday but in all fairness.. Weather pending moved the show up. With what NHRA had to deal with I think they did a He!! of a job.

I probably mentioned this before. Many years ago when I raced in Englishtown. You would walk through the pits and one favorite of mine was the tender fender SuperStockers. They would be lined up in the pits it seemed for ever. Anywhere from Steve Bagwell's SS/BS to many SS/FA. The cars were all to see. Now if the cars are out they are packed in between two giant white trailer. Nice rear bumper view if any. Pretty sure there aren't any sportsman parades before the race.
I'm not much of a street hotrodder these days. Why should I. The best car show of the nicest cars are racing at NHRA events. Not sure many local folks hear or see that.
