Let's say for the sake of illustration we'll use time runs/qualifying as an example. Then because I can't get the customer into my business, I just say screw you. You are only getting 2 of the items (time runs/qualifying) you paid for.

Additional parking staff for what? Parking 100,000 rigs on already saturated soil?
Other than complaining, that's your solution? Parking Staff tried to keep most of us in staging on asphalt, I appreciated that, JUST my opinion. Tony Tosto #5302

Thank you for the photos and reports. Scott Gove's Camaro is breathtaking. It is probably my favorite Stocker.

YO, Ken,

Looks like the "barn" had a door open. Can you get a pic of the 5 cherry pickers and engine stands? I need to know what to bring with me Friday morning!

Everyone will be lucky to get 1 qualifying pass today,unless they plan on running til midnight! Who said you cant park 500 rigs in one day?? Oh...thats rite YOU CANT!!!! Even if it was dry!!!! What a joke,let the **** show begin. Hope nobody has trouble and needs more than 2 passes to get in the field,thats including class runoffs,unless you win a few rounds.

Tony, Is it your opinion that parking that many big rigs, all in one day ,was a good plan?
None of the rigs that were there Sunday, could have been parked on Monday?

No Mark, I got there Monday, #334, was told wet weather coming and would be on asphalt. Good point about parking sooner, I was only affected by Mond/Tue situation. Not trying to defend or complain, just had a better experience, I guess.
