Just watched the Friday Video on DRC and that joint is boss.

Norwalk is one of the best events of the season.

Congratulation to the winners! Yes, there are winners already. In a repeat of Gainesville, Sunday will be an all-Pro show, due to expected rain in the early to mid-day hours. However, instead of holding the Sportsman classes over to late Sunday night or even Monday, everything from Comp down was run out to completion on Saturday night.

How was this decision viewed by those involved??

I lost Saturday morning so the decision to finish the sportsman racing had no affect on us. I only spoke with a few but everyone agreed with get er done and get out before weather takes over.

Saturday morning wait time at the ice cream stand 30-45 min, and it’s always worth the weight.

First round winners had to scale and had what I call “The Dope Search”: open the doors get out and Tech checks many different things quickly. In the car, in the trunk, and wherever. It helps keep us honest.

Congrats to Joe for winning Stock two years in a row, now he has two Scoops

I have always wanted the sportsman to be finished on Saturday all NHRA needs to do is get a "major sponsor" for the "Saturday Sportsman Show" and make a bigger deal for us with an added purse money of course. Plus those who have to be back to work can have a leisure trip back home on Sunday

That would be nice and eaiser on people to get home at a decent time.

How many are left on Sunday? If you have no desire to run in front of the fans, maybe you don't need to run Nationals?

That may not be a bad idea
like I mentioned make Saturday's bigger deal as the Sportsman will be the main attention not a passing idea to fill in downtime on Sunday Just a thought about highlighting the Sportsman away from the pros. Still running in front of Fans on Saturday if a racer wants that to me it does not matter, Make the Purse ten times with the main sponsor for them on Saturday. The sponsor will get more advertising impressions for them this way

[James Perrone]

Saturday or Sunday
Nhra doesn’t make a big deal about sportsman
Same $ and trophy on either day

By the way Gump I wouldn’t have known you won
Until I checked Dragrace. Central. 😂
