My 2 cents worth...
The track owners/operators did a lousy job all around. It was clear they didn't give us any serious consideration. I had to walk over and interupt their BS'ing session at 12:30 to ask for someone to start teching trucks (tech was a joke). It will take some getting hurt or wrecking their truck before that changes at Rogersville. I understand the rain washed down the track but to have mud/dirt/sand covering the starting line and filling the groove down track was dangerous and a waste of our time. We are not professionals doing this to make a living but most of us invest some serious time, money, and effort into our trucks. Most of us had to dial our trucks back down just to make it safely to the end of the track. As a track owner you wouldn't last long treating door slammer and bracket racers like that. Word of mouth is a power advertising tool - both good & bad.
At the start of eliminations they feed us the line that bye runs were earned off reaction times and not ET. I told the "official" that I had been outrun in the semis but it didn't matter - they were pissed off at Gerald. Then I was asked to agree to a coin flip to determine lane choice in the finals. Wasn't happening - I told them to give it to whoever had the faster/quicker ET. Not sure what they used but I did get lane choice.
I can't speak for the pulls but I assume the track prep was equally shitty. I already e-mailed my bitch session to the track owners - we will see if it makes any difference. Looking forward to Centerville.

JP, what time you lookin at leaving for Centerville.
BTW you forgot to mention the fact that the sled was blocking the return road at one point. Causing yet another delay.
Think that progressive controller will be on by then?

I guess I will be testing only at Centerville. I think they are requiring DOT tires only. Not going to buy another set just for that. I will call the track to clarify that and to see what time they think the diesel trucks will start to run. Don't want to show up at 9am and wait until the afternoon to run.
My right foot is programmed to trigger the spray at this point.
