car count at i.h.r.a. opener

is this a record low car count for san antonio,,,,,,,,,stock 18 ,s/s 12 or for that matter a nat event,do not understand why u would schedule a event on the same weekend of another large event,

[david ring]

could it be that in scheduling the event, the IHRA didn't care about the sportsman racer? Oh no, that would not fit in with the notion that it's racer friendly. And no the Kenny's did not approve this message, but we all know how they feel aout the iHRA.

Two reasons we are not in the Final 4. 1. We are division III school. 2. We expect our athletes to actually be students. We did once win a national championship-in women's soccer-half the seniors on the team went on to grad school. We used to be Division I in men's soccer. Of the two best players who were my students, one graduated with a 3.98 GPA and obviously was academic all-American and the other got his Ph.D in Economics and is now a dean at Lafayette. See what I mean about them being students?

Actually, my car, the one Lee Zane drives in comp, has run twice this year in FL. He did ok-semis and R/U, but school kept me from going to either race. I will make it to Dinwiddie for that race. And as far as winter being over, this is Oneonta-we know snow is possible for at least another month. Unfortunately-that nothing to laugh about.

Guys there is 18 SS in San Antonio. Only 17 ran the Sportsman race because Clegg broke and engine in the AM car. Richardson beat Beard in the final by .001 I heard. Maybe tommorow I can get a green light. Were having a good time down here even though the car isn't running very good at all. ED

The Sportsman National SS final was 0.0003 seconds - which ends up being a small fraction of an inch. Unfortunately, we have all rounds to go in the Amalie Oil Nationals Sportsman eliminations, so it will be a long Sunday. Fortunately, the forecast is for great weather.

Could it be that its a 1/8 mile track and people dont like running a national event at a 1/8 mile track?

Mark,
As you may know its not an eighth mile track, they just chose to run a eighth mile race. However I think that could be one of the factors.

I think it is because it's in Texas, which is not real big IHRA.
I also know the Belle Rose race hurt also.
One item of intrest did you see the pics of all the people in the stands.
