3 Down and 1 to Go

As you all know, 1 month prior to the race in Bloomsburg, PA the fairgrounds were completely flooded.When I pulled in Thursday night it was like nothing had ever happened. The only difference that I noticed was the presence of more dust than usual, so my hat is off to all who helped get the place ready for us to race. This year for some reason the track was shortened to 180', not sure why, but even so the times were a little on the slow side for this usually fast track. Jason Massie took first at 3.021, Brendan Kinsella took second at 3.101, Chuck Courty III was in third at 3.105, Sam Franklin was fourth at 3.236, and Rick Nagele was fifth at 3.275. With the last points race of the year at the end of September and only 20 points separating 1st through 4th, Indy is going to be a real barn burner. I was unable to attend the Fast Mud race at the Harvest Fair in Transfer, PA, however after speaking with the guys from Fast Mud they informed me that the issues with the timing lights were solved and that they had the largest crowd to date. Jason Massie was the big winner in Pro Stock and took the Pro Mod bounty as well. Brian Sears won in Pro Mod and Chuck Courty III won the Open Class with the Mud Missile. I did want to remind everyone that Mike Zebella will be having a race at the Chatham Fairgrounds Sept 30 through Oct 1. There will be 2 separate races for Pro Stock, and Pro Mod will have a Cut and Scoop class, as will the blower cars. The grounds are a great place for camping and the track is always fast. I hope you all can attend and I will see you all in Indy. Bring your A games boys, I am bringing mine.

Just kidding - nice to see some friendly? compitition between racers.
As for your question - bigdawg had a point. But I like to think there is more to Special Events then that. Thier in business to make money as well as promote the sport. (its in thier best interest) It is about the show and if you think different then that your on the wrong page.
Is it time for a change? the racing format is old. I believe the racers and the fans are ready for some real side by side racing - heads up - first one to the finish wins! (NHRA style format - quick 16)?
Rules? Enforcement of rules? We as racers need to express our thoughts on the racing program to the NMRO. A better show can make a better payout and this could be good for all of us.

Traveler, you are 100% right. You would think that Special Events would want to improve thiings but anytime ideas are put forth they never seem to be taken seriously.Iwould love to see a quick 16 style format and the fans espcailly a new one sure would have an easier time understandiing what is going on. The 3 day jambo schedule has 4 rounds of monster truck action and if the mud drags were incorperated with that you would be putting us infront of an even bigger and better crowd.
