Most would find it better not to race in 100 degree temp and a 150 degree track temp. Last year the Phoenix race was also delayed to Oct and it was in the 90 degree area as a high. The car count was terrible. 32 Superstock, 60 stockers, 21 Superstreet and so on. Why they keep cancelling when nothing has change is crazy. They made it worse.
I'm personally vaccinated but I still don't want to need a mask standing in my pit area. Specially when it is hot outside. I got warned twice last year standing outside my truck or car in my pit all alone. The Indian reservation folks are pretty strict on the subject. They kept announcing they would stop the race if we were not following the rules.
It isn't any cooler in Las Vegas in the first week of September either.

Only issue I see with moving it is if you work a regular job gonna be tough to get all that time outta work! Not to mention the 750-900 miles away from home you gotta cover!
I know fly, but some or at least my pocketbook may not like that either! Is what it’s gonna be and you do what you can! Gonna be a fun sept, oct, nov though!

If it's a go I'll be there. Sick of watching racing from a laptop.

GTS340 · 08-12-2021, 10:28 PM

By the way Scott. Hats off to you guys that put the miles in out west here. I'm always amazed seeing you all putting in the effort to support the sport
It seems I had more travel time when I was a dodge dealer service manager. Surely a few extra dollars. Got old and hate traveling alone these days I guess.

Paul: You always are welcome to travel and pit with
us anytime you would like!

I have not forgotten the the hard work and
sage help you gave me some 25 years ago to get
my Demon straightened out and running competitively.

Thanks John see you soon in Phoenix. Thanks for your help and support through the years as well.

Pete, I made a room reservation for Earl and I at Laquinta. With an AARP or AAA card they give you a 10% discount. I should get 20% I figure. Yeah right!

They posted the entry info on NHRARACER for the phoenix race. I got down to the last part of the form and it say your money is not refundable. Really!! So if anything happens, Things like you get sick, break down and who knows. You donate 400.00. Must be time to retire.
