Ha ha! I am "racist" on the track, slow poke in the pits. You know, I didn't pull any wheelies with your golf cart, unlike my buddy Pete!

See you when Spring arrives, one of these months.........

Keep-up with the Chinese build, we need some entertainment. Only 40* here today, snow still piled everywhere, this is getting old fast!

That's like the "exhibition of speed" ticket the cops give out. Just means the cop didn't like how you were driving.

Probably not a good idea to touch the official either.

Can't sell tickets.. you have to get revenue however you can to continue the "circus". Just a matter of time before they run out of millionaires like Force, Schumacher, Grays, Torrance and Kalitta to field and help fund, with used parts, about 1/2 of the Pro Categories. "pros being the key word. You could win all the National Events and probably not cover expenses for the fuel car, not to mention the 5 semis they drag in to the pit area. Those $10K fines......think they go into the retirement packages for "the Boys of NHRA" or maybe to help a Children's Hospital or Veterans Organization???

The don’t seem to have any problems selling out events. So how is that workout as far as can’t sell any tickets?

speed limit in the pits is 5 mph, 15 mph on a return road.... pretty easy to tell the difference.between 45 mph and 15 mph...

No matter what the reason I think it's great. She always seems to have a very entitled attitude like she is better than everyone else. Maybe been taking some lessons from Muldowney!! LOL

I think she is a very attractive young lady that brings something to the sport. She has paid her dues and she can drive.

Speed limit on return road is 15. Anyone pay attention to the speed the tow vehicles are doing, towing TF or FC back from scales ?
45/50 usually.
And blowing the horn at every one. Listen to the racket those cars make on the return road...

Next I would like to see them address the way these teams tow through the pits. If they need to extend the time between rounds do it but no need to have cars being towed past spectators at those speeds. If any one of us sportsman guys went through the pits like that for any reason we would be thrown out of the event. And I don'buy that they have to do it because they don't all go that fast. The two I noticed in particular at epping last year were Brittney's and Antron's cars. And I happen to have a ton of respect for Antron just didn't like that at all.

I completely agree. If they want the pit to be spectator friendly, keep it safe.
