Thanks Mike! We`re going out there tomorrow....it still pisses me off there aren`t any alcohol cars running at that event.

Looks like a lot of Super Stock & Stock cars will be adding weight.

Yes it's not really a divisional meet without the alcohols cars is it?

Puts a huge dent in things as far as I`m concerned. Plenty of great racers are there in the other classes, but it`s still not the same.

Exactly. I couldn't agree more. Personally, I wish the powers-that-be in Division 6 would move that race to a track that would allow top alcohol.

Shhhhhhhhh! Don't let NHRA hear you praising track conditions. They'll send someone from Glendora to come in and "fix" it!

 

[rocketman]

I think if we had more quality tracks up here NHRA could give the date to another track that would run the alcohol cars but sense there's not, NHRA reluctantly goes along with it. I like the New family and I love racing there but I deeply resent their idea of running a handful of nostalgia fuel cars in place of the alcohol cars.

When they use to race fuel cars at divisionals, Ray Beadle in the Blue Max made a pass there just as it started snowing!

You all forgot Jack Harris, N/[email protected].

I say that about the SportsNationals too.
Also I forgot, Boise is a altitude track so no added weight for being 1.40 over the index, just a hard records to beat.
