I just watched some of this race on TV and came to the conclusion that they have no idea where they are racing. Not only the announcers but several of the racers said that they were in Richmond when in fact they were 40+ miles South of there. The track is South of Petersburg. NHRA may need a geography lesson.

Apparently there is some confusion as to who won Top Fuel. This is a quote from NHRA.COM - "In Top Fuel, Shawn Langdon crossed the finish line ahead of Justin Ashley but the results are under review for a possible rules infraction on Langdon’s car. The final-round result is under review."This message has been edited. Last edited by: Ed Swearingen,

If I had made the trip and then paid admission, I'd have surely been pissed to discover there were no Pro Stocks there! Today's nitro vehicles/teams can kiss my ***. They are fine for first timers, but the novelty wears off. It least it did for me. I'd have spent my time in the Stocker/Super Stocker/ Comp pits. That is, when I wasn't watching them. Take care.

If it seems that bracket racing has gotten too expensive for you, maybe you are just doing it wrong.

I'm not from the area, but that track has always been informally known as "Richmond" as far as I can recall.

I agree Tom. They have all but ruined the sportsman racing experience for the fans. No comp, no TS, No TD at selected events and there is always room. The fact that they think the Pro Show can fly on its own is ridiculous. As of late the pro show is coming up short fields and they have to call up part time teams to come race as fillers. Good for them though!! I don’t care to run National as I’d like to see a Sportsman Nationals come to life. The last National Jeff and I won in T/S was not the payday of past years! Trust me!
California Screaming! Raceless in California!

close to zero go to a national event to see sportsman race unless a friend is involved. if the spectator wanted to see sportsman they would go to a divisional or sportsnational event which has them solely and that is not happening either the grandstands are not needed at any of the divisional races lol.

Kind if BS after the run because tghey only tq at 15# and nobody torque them just snug so as not to strip out.
