At one point I waited in line for 3 hours. It sure would be nice if all the hicks did not bring there crap that they pulled out of the front yard to the track. <img src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" border="0" alt="[whiner]" />

HRP sucked *** last night. I'm disgusted with all those piece of **** hooptie trailer rust buckets that kept busting and oiling down the track. There were 6 freakin piece of **** cars broken last night, each took 30 minutes to an hour to clean up after.

Nothing like sitting in staging lanes for 5 hours and only getting in two lousy spinning passes. The last round was the worst, sat for 3 hours and got turned away and we all got sent home after another PIECE OF **** broke at the line. I was two cars back from racing when that happened.

What a total waste of a day.

i agree with you guys.
i was out there about one week ago and they had the same problems. seems to me the tech in folks should look a little harder. that way some of the crap i was looking at would not get past em.

i bet they start doing it soon tho..

btw, they even started prepping the track last week after one broke, with the vht the track was still not hooking up for any one.

That was one long a$$ night last night. <img src="images/icons/frown.gif" border="0">
Finally got 2 runs in after 4 hours or more waiting in line. I guess seeing the wheel standing Nova almost flip over was (at least) a small thrill though. <img src="graemlins/gr_zzz.gif" border="0" alt="[boring]" />
