Anyway we're going to make the best of it and go on I just hate it for Ken and Tim I know how much effort they put into this.
We e just made our first qualifying pass and the track is really good for as hot as it is my numbers were nearly identical to the test pass this morning.
The purse structure has been adjusted a little with Stock running down to 2 cars then there should be 1 SS left and this will be the semifinals. Best reaction time of the 3 cars will get the bye. It's now 6k to win and everything else stays the same. For the circumstances I think this is fair and I've not heard a complaint from anyone.

I didn't think you were bashing at all. What you said needed to be said. I only responded because it was on my mind and has been for while. I hate the situation.

I really wanted to let Ken and Tim know that the event is awesome and am truly sorry for not attending. It would be an incredible shame if the event didn't continue for years to come due to poor car count.

Plus, I got my car painted so it no longer looks like I raced it in a demolition derby!

As it so happens I just ran into the corner of the building with mine so I'm in need of some off-season body work! Just called first round here we go for 2st round.

When Ken started this 3 years ago during the pandemic many people didn't have a place to race.

First of all, Kenny didn't do anything wrong. He has a great program.

A couple of friends were there for the Div. race.They then went out to Columbus for the supposed double Div. race there. Then they had to get back to get ready for Epping and Indy. Fact is , there are just too many NHRA races in the Summer months on the East Coast.

Going out on a limb here ,but I'd say that about 90% of S/SS racers do it for Wallys and for the ego. Most can afford to do it, so big pay independent races are a low priority.They don't do it for the money.
As John Prine would say, " That's the way that the world goes 'round "...
