I know a guy who tried to enter St Louis this year on the Monday afternoon before the race. They turned him down. Appears to be standard policy. Although I cannot see a valid reason for it. The field isn't full, and a member of NHRA says "I'd like to give you my $250 so I can race" and is turned down. Seems less than intelligent to me.

Nobody EVER accused the NHRA of being intelligent! Jim

Ed,

I heard that they recently paved a lot of the sportsman pit area at the Motorplex, but I haven't been there to see it. At the points race back in the spring it was a mudhole.

How do you think Bruton Smith feels about NHRA....he opens the most fantastic racing (drag) facility since the Dry Lakes at Muroc in '56 and NHRA says, Oh, by the way, we are not contesting Stock Eliminator at your event, so there will be about 150 competitors and their family members not participating. That's about $38,000 through the gate, not to mention all the concessions sales lost.

Ed,
You want pavement, BUY A TOP FUELER. If not be glad they let you in the gate.

Maybe they sent you down with fog so you couldnt see the guy blow your doors off--Did the guy at the scale mention--your missing a door? Ed, you have a nicer day
