What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
So went to Gainesville track - arrived at 9:00. First time run scheduled for 10:00. Double-entered to get some extra practice. By 1:30, still waiting in very nice weather (see pic) and not one word on the PA system, Facebook page, or anywhere else about what is going on, why no racing. Brief 10 min shower hits. Well, we know THAT will be at least another couple hours delay.
So put the car away in the trailer and got a raincheck. Ladies at the entrance were not told why the major delay. Tried to call the tower and no answer. They even had an Easter egg hunt for the kids at 2:00 and didnt announce that!! So we git a raincheck and left as we didn't feel like sitting additional unknown hours waiting.
A buddy stayed. Texted me he got his 1st time run at 5:00pm, 8 hours after we got there! 1st round of eliminations starting after 8:00 pm!! :poke: Hello - that doesn't compute!!
I sure hope this is not how Gainesville is run by the mighty NHRA. Not impressed at all!!
Came home, washed the trailer, and put everybody in the shop for the night.
