So Stevie Wonder got it done, huh? That's great!

I'm sure he's thinking that's the best 6k he's spent in a long time...

WORST ... DAY .. EVER.

Never seen the lines that long ... the waits ... OMG.

I guess it wouldn't have been nearly as bad if it wasn't so hot ... Heat and only one dial in run really screwed up over. Was sweet seeing Doug coming up for me the first race but my car cooled down and I broke out ... but still had a bit to go. I still think that's one of the best looking Camaros.

Congrats to all the winners!

I've always tried to avoid Friday / Saturday events at PR ... and this really proved why.

I look forward to the next Bremerton event.

I couldn't wait to sit in line with the car runnin and the A/C blowing full tilt. That was my ultimate demise in my first round. Left it on and ran a .45 on a .40, but i cut a bad light too so there ya go.

we usally take the edmonds ferry and go from there. but lately with the jacked up ferry fares we've been driving around, it's about a wash price wise, but mileage on the car wise i think it more to drive around.

they charge an exhorbatant amount for the trailered cars, like 60 bucks each way so we usually road trip it with them.

I don't think we will be back to PR...Tonight was just a Joke...Kicking a 70 yr old woman and a wheel chair bound child off of the cement paddock was way over the limit for me.. Let alone the half an hour wait to get into the place...then the hour and a half waits to race....enough is enough....They need to get things quardinated before I go back...

I say we Boycott PR.

I went up to ask that skinny bastard with the god complex what I needed to do to race in the T/O after being put out of the CCC. He told me to go home. Half jokinly and half serious. I wanted to drop that ****** right there with an elbow the jaw. I'm done with that track, it's nothing but grief everytime there.

They don't really care, actually... the amateurs don't make them their money, and they know it. Hell... after seeing the huge production the NHRA Nationals are, I wouldn't be surprised if that one event pretty much makes all their yearly operating expenses, and then some.

I think its because the Hot Rods bring people out, so they pander to their asses even if there's only a handful of them. Then I think that maybe the owner just has a hard-on for the diesels... but whatever.

I like the idea of not going back there... at least as long as those ******** keep running us with a million other events on the same day. Why not give us a few Saturdays like Bremerton does? I'm surprised those geniuses at Pacific didn't schedule Car Club, Street Legals, Road Course, Nitro Bikes, Dog Sleds, and Top Fuels all in the same day.
