NHRS likewise---they all deserve a Peg Leg Trophy = qualified didn't back it up for a record!!
With hindsight always being 20/20, and with a major storm on the door step , did anyone ever consider closing the course early to qualifiers and run off the Impound cars on late Tuesday afternoon ? Was there a lesson learned here ?
Billy, NO, NO, NO,--a very bad idea IMO---very, very, unfair to all of the rest of the racers, including those that weren't even at the meet---Mother Nature is a huge part of what makes B'Ville -B'ville and will continue to be

One of the downsides is that you might not be able to get all of your prep done in time if you ran late in the morning.With a turn-out of only about 90 entries, provided everybody had a chance to make an attempt, and if it was clear that the opportunity to back up your run was in jeopardy, my thought would be that fairness would fall to those who paid their entry, made the trip, made qualifying runs, and are sitting in what must be as close to LSR purgatory as one could imagine.

The world finals are always iffy. I have made the trip when I was the timer to turn around and go home or be told it was canceled due to weather. We all want good weather but this time of year is not the best.We will go again next year if the weather gods allow it.
