Too much **** going on at this race now and it all takes so much damn time. Out of 6 racing days there's been maybe 6 hours of rain during the days, if that. NHRA needs to plan out a schedule that is realistic to get all 16 classes and 904 cars run if they're going to include that much stuff. That should mean 4 qualifying sessions for the pros, and be prepared to cut it down to 3 if needed. They do it to us, why not them? Oil downs happen, crashes happen, rain happens. With that many cars and days you're going to have some of it. Don't put the schedule together where it only works if everything goes 100% right.

I hate to say it but, I’m kinda glad us .90 guys and gals had 1st round Thursday. I mean it sucked big time losing a time shot because of the parking issues but, at least half of us could have got on the road home if we wanted. I also have to agree the pros should go down to 4 shots, especially since they are barely getting 16 cars at Indy...i know it won’t happen but, you now have the 10 pounds of s**t in a 5 pound bag analogy coming to light.
