Gotta love the 2 hour wait in line tonight. What an awesome feeling when you are strapping yourself in and out of a tight 5 point harness. Line moves up, JR. dragsters run, somebody breaks, line stops, line moves up some more, somebodys door and then somebody elses hood flies off. Line stops each time, next round of JR. dragsters. Seriously, wtf?

People, ******* close your hoods and freaking doors. If you can't make it down the track without your hood or door coming off, leave the pos at home please.

End of late night rant....

That's why I almost don't even bother going anymore...too much bullshit to put up with for 1 or 2 passes.

thats why i get there early and run... then just watch after about 8. plus they don't do the lines in the staging area like they use to. they use to pull a row at a time so you could leave ur car in line and walk around or go watch. all you had to do was watch for the line before you to pull up then head back to your car.

The guys running the lines have always been idiots.

Sad to hear about the long waits. It was like that the week before NHRA was here.
