http://sportsman.nhra.com/2013/DailySchedule/71.pdf Here is the daily schedule that they ran last year. Al, they did do 2 races in 4 days. Sounds like this year they have other plans, although it is not clear by looking at their posted Divisional/Regional schedules.

I know we did two races in four days the last two years. Just aint running two races in three days and Feb 28-Mar 2 is three days no matter how ya slice it. The last two years we started on Wednesday with the T&T. Starting with T&T on Thursday is our normal Div 7 schedule for a single race. We have T&T Thursday and quailing/practice on Friday and Saturday. Traditionally that will be two runs one day one on the other day. Kinda why I have been saying all along that it appeared to be a SINGLE division race not a double.

That's too bad--it was kinda nice to be able to make 3 events on 1 road trip.

Yeah, that virgin concrete is begging for some abuse!

I just really hope they are able to get the track to hook well enough this first "outing" with the new surface that people don't have "issues" that require body work or cleanup. In any event - I'll be out there whether I have to tippy-toe it or not.

Kind of why I am not partaking in the first two weekends of racing. If the reports are good I will come down for the AZ S/ST race on the 8th.

MoparBilly and I will be there Friday night to try out the new surface.
Sure will feel good to make pass in the car again, I have made some changes to the Dart so I hope the starting line is prepped well.

Glad to hear this and will pass it along.
The guys are planning on the first A/FX run the first weekend in April and would obviously like to get some TnT in before then.

Another friend is doing the Fling in Vegas that weekend so I will probably be there.

I went and walked the track this afternoon - while they were putting on a new set of slicks for the "rubbering-in" tractor - or whatever it's called. They have quite a bit of rubber down already and the horizontal striations in the concrete look like it will make it hook pretty well. The track is NOT all white and virgin concrete now. I'm sure after 300 cars descend on the track tomorrow night - it will get quite a bit of rubber down.

I'm betting I get 2 passes in 6 hours if nobody oils the track down.

I have my rig loaded and headed out the door as soon as I get off work tomorrow.

See you guys there!

I will be out Saturday AM - if I can find a tow vehicle . The local dealer has my Jeep in the shop. It was supposed to be ready yesterday. Then I was informed they broke off a head bolt and will have to remove the head to get it out. I'm bummed!!! Wife won't let me carry right now.
