The car show needs a different format. Really, one catagory and one prize for every car ever built with a LS motor ? $75.00 wasted on a car show only one person had a chance to win. For that kinda coin everyone showing should have at least had a chance for their car catagory. There was a class for everything else, Hell I should have thrown my 402 thats in the shop in the bed of our truck and called it under construction, I would've stood a better chance of winning.

I didn't like the fact that I got there Friday at 3:00 and they told me true street test and tune was over then Saturday I got to make one pass before the cruise so basically it cost $75 to make one pass because a ujoint gave out on the cruise where as if I had of been able to test Friday I could've changed it out by Saturday And would've been able to finish the event

We learned our lesson and we know it is our fault. Wish we woulda been there at like 10 instead of 1. By the time we were set to run.. it was 2:55. Sucks... But it was by our own hand.

Like most events TnT tapers off as we get through the weekend.... A lot the first day, less the next, none at the end. I suggest getting in Thursday night, and you will have plenty of times to make TnT hits friday night.

The racers deeply appreciated that Holley had Scott Wittwer coming by and giving us updates on when we would run again.

I think it also worked really well having all of the longer enclosed rigs in the back row.

NEVER once did Scott come over to my pit area. I saw him saturday when I was in Marks pit area and asked him to come by our pit area and keep us informed. He never once came by, there were 4 of us pitting together. Between the crap intercom speakers and NO communication from Scott I had to stand and watch for one of my competitors going to the lanes to find out when I was running. A far cry from the wonderful communication we recieved in Georgia

that is true about Ga, i am mainly deaf so that is important too. luckily i have crew members that are my ears lol. But have kind of become accustomed to not hearing the call and watch fellow competitors.

Tune the radio in your trailer to the track radio. That's what we did. It was the only way we knew when to go to the lanes.

Thats what I did, tuned the radio and listened for my class. I had fun really cant complain except for when I was trying park. They told me to look for a guy on a green golf cart. It took me almost an hour to find him driving around in the pits. I was just happy that the car drove on the trailer under its on power.

Really this is what NHRA says.

9:1 COMPUTER (December 13, 2010)

2nd paragraph

During NHRA competition, no a portable computer (e.g., laptop, PDA, Palm Pilot, programmer, etc.) must be securely mounted when may be installed or located in a vehicle driver’s compartment at any point beyond the staging area ready line. All functions or values must be pre-set prior to this point.

Well you also did not want to be paired with a "race car". You should not need a laptop in the car during eliminations anyway.
