Could It Be True?

Rumor,just a rumor that NHRA did not want the local crew working the track at the VEGAS Event because there was speculation of potential tire (CHUNKING) problems with the PRO cars.

Guess you don't have to worry about chunking tires when they don't get down the race track...

Can't you just see the press release...?
"In light of rising costs of track preparation and maintenance, effective immediately, said operations will cease. The result will be enhanced racing that will put more emphasis on the crew chief, the driver, tire technology, and suspension tuning."

Just strategically place some derivative of the word "enhanced" in there... presto! Instant press release.

Say, are they still charging y'all $10 to help pay for trash pickup in those western divisions? And $10 to register pit vehicles?

Michael - Even the NHRA wouldn't collect more than once a year for a pit vehicle fee . As for the Nationals in September at MIR I very much would like to race it .............
