Great write up, glad you had a great time.
Drag week is run by pretty much the same crew of people. One thing I have learned is that if they say the gates open at 9 the gates really opened at 6am and 60% of the people are already in the lanes at 9am lol!
We went to Bristol in 2018, a couple hours before the gate opened, and were probably the 100th car in line. Those that want to be successful at winning class at one of these events, needs to spend a half hour listening to Curt Johnson (10x winner). He will tell you what needs to be done, from day one, to the day you arrive home from the event. It was a VERY interesting conversation. The guy had his program perfected, and he'd gladly tell you how he did it.
