With a big event like this, they need to be 100% certain everything works, and have backup plans.
I got to Atlanta Dragway the friday before Drag Week, and I raced there saturday. The clocks were screwed up then. So they were aware of a problem, and they had time to fix it right, but apparently didn't. There is no excuse for that.
I agree 100%, of the four tracks we were at Atlanta was my least favorite. Still a very nice facility, hotels were close, clean and spacious with good restrooms, but...
Another SME driver's wife heard a local talking in the timing tower and they said the clocks messed up everytime the weather turned hot.
Four or five concession stands and only one open with huge lines.
Four dollars for a bottle of water, it was two dollars Darlington. We bought a cooler and case of water for the last day and saved time, money and still have the cooler.
Except for the fact that is was slow, Bristol was our favorite.
