Given that there are a lot of racers that did not qualify for IHRA Bracket Finals (which should still be at QCR) and there is nothing going on at the other tracks, I would hope that he could pack the place since it is the only place to race.

bow Thank you for trying.

Sorry, didn't realize that the other tracks closed down for bracket finals. I don't recall Quaker ever doing that but I've only been racing there 4 years.

I'm happy just making a couple of passes in the car. The highlight of my week is just going to the track. Enjoying the sights, sounds, and conversations. I drag race to drag race. If I raced to make money every week, I'd be in trouble, plain and simple.

I have fun out there, but I have fun just being in the car. Isn't that what this is about? If you don't like it, you stay home and save your money. Don't come on here and cry about it. I'm racing there while I have the chance.

You could be up Sunset racing for a $100 if you're lucky. You might win too if Alex likes you...

Tell me something new, I've known that for 12 years. Just like everyone else, I'll migrate if it all comes to an end.
