You can see cars anytime, and every year from now on you can make the MATS as part of the birthday celebration. Still Broke

Not real happy about the schedling snafu, wish they would have kept the original date, but got to have priorities I guess. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know."

Not sure what is going on with Phil Painter but loosing his dealerships could not have been good. This event has to be succesful, it's the only one out west we have!! So I pled if you can make the MATS, do it, we cannot loose this event. Diego

Al_Alguire I Live Here Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 19,376 Las Vegas	I agree with everything you said Ted....But they did not look at the schedules real well to have scheduled this race on the same weekend as a Divisional race. However how many folks out there are chasing divisional points? I could see it hurting the Stock Eliminator guys and maybe some of us Super Pro(S/G, S/C and S/ST)and Q16 folks that chase TS or TD points but I dont think it will make a big impact to thier car count. Of course being one of those who is going to make an efort to chase Div points this year I wish they had stuck with tier originally scheduled weekend.

I understand the need to go after NHRA points, but with everything the NHRA has done to discourage the super ranks, and sportsman racing in general, it's not gonna be as full of a field. Plus the NHRA had to know what the schedule was, with their relationship at LVMS, and the two just didn't get together. Good luck down there, though.

Paid for the hotel room for the weekend To bad I could not buy a round at any of the races. Never seen so many .002 red lights my life in one wekend. Every single elimination pass of the weekend in all three races was a .002 red for me. But it did help my year as I vowed to not go red again, and since then have not. I probably should not have said that "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"
