damn, I hope so!! That Friday night **** gets old. The last time I went, the line just to get in was out to the street. Not to mention the staging lane. Sundays always were less crowded and annoying.

I'd be there a lot of Sundays between November and April.

Fridays suck. What i do is try to get there as soon as the gates open, get teched in, then line up in the staging area. This pretty much guarantees me 2 runs before cooling down for 30 minutes, then a couple of more. Unless the DA is in the negatives, I am gone after a few runs. If it's in the high negatives -1000 or better, then I tough it out till later in the night.

Can you post up a link?

Hard to make a personal best pass at HRP on Fridays when you only get in 2 damn runs. I miss Sundays as well.

Yeah thats what happened to me last time i went there. i gave up and went home. and when i left there were still another 50+ cars in the street still trying to get their tickets to get in. i dont think ill ever go there again just because its so difficult to get runs in.

I am completely serious when I say that I stopped going to HRP when they stopped having sunday 1/4 mile races. All of my business went to sealy. I went to HRP twice on Friday nights and both times it took HOURS between runs....screw that.

If they open back up for Sunday races you can bet you'll see me running there again.

Here's to hoping.

see there is a thing , there are the street car lines with street tires , and then there is the slick and radial line. I always line up in the slick line , 1. you can feed off of tire thread from the big tire race cars , and 2. There lines go way faster then the damn street tire line , but if u have street tires on dont bother getting in those lanes they will send ur *** to the other ones lol . you also have to know the racing seen has never been as huge as it is now with 1 billion trucks always there. They are basically the ones who get it packed also. So you never know it can probably the same as packed on a sunday as it is on a friday. Hopefully not but there is also that to consider. i have got my best so far and was last friday , the lines were not as big as usual , but best is a 12.03 damn this weather lol.

Sounds good. I lost 3mph at Sealy last night over HMP in the 1/8 the night before.

Can't wait for Sunday racing again. Hopefully, they keep the junior dragsters and other classes away and let us just race.

YES!

I literally cannot wait. It was always a pain getting friends to go to sealy that didn't run on drag radials because you couldn't get around the water box. I have NO idea why they dont fix that so that you can drive around the water.
