    The NHRA site says due to deteriorating conditions it was postponed. Lets see 60 degrees and no rain. Sounds perfect to me.

    ya the crash was crazy. when that tire hit that lady it looked like it was still going at least 100mph hit her and then bounced up over the truck behind her. thats to bad that she died. after that though the racing was pretty good. it was my first time watching the big boys race i gotta tell you if you have never seen them race it is definitly worth going to atleast once to really see/feel how fast they are.
    also I have a video but I might wait a few months to post it

    Don't believe it. My money is on the PS teams telling them to stick it that they weren't going to run in that left lane anymore.

    In case any of you missed it 2 PS cars went turtle in the left lane during qualifying and a bunch of the PS drivers were calling out the track for the "BUMP" in the left lane. Also, maybe a coincidence but of the handful of cars PS cars that made passes in the left lane on Sunday several of them hazed the tires out of the box or pulled the shutes early. Larry Morgan was in the left lane and didn't even come up to the tree.

    BINGO! Soon as I heard that the PS cars didn't run today because of weather I knew it was BS.

    What a bad, bad weekend for the NHRA.

    It was postponed due to the track conditions. The Sportsman dragsters couldn't get down the track at all, since they have very limited downforce surfaces
    Naturally Force could get down the track well because his crewchief has been at this track for MANY years and do quite a bit of TnT here.
    No pair of nitro cars BOTH got down the track in the last round. Absolutely NO HEAT in the track. The sun wasn't out enough! Air temp didn't even get to 60 until after 2pm

    If they were going to shut the track down because of the accident, it would have been done FAR earlier in the day.

    It was just fate that the woman was killed.

    RIP Sue Zimmer!
