Do they separate the fields quick cars and quick dragsters No. NO and you don't get 3/10 help anymore either. For those that don't know door cars got 3/10 knocked off of thier Q times to help them compete with the dragsters on the Q sheet. The reasoning for doing it was that there is enough HP available out there now for the door cars to keep up with the dragsters in qualifying. I know nobody will give a crap but I am going to say it anyways. I had a great time at Gateway this year with the exception of the combined races. And I ran good a them but did not have a good time. I said before if they did it again this year I would not be back. Not sure what my options are. But I am still leaning that way. I have been known to change my mind and do things that I don't like just because I don't have any other options. So you never know what I will do. But when a official takes my money for early entry on thursday and then wont let me in it pisses me off. Then when they make me sit another 3-4 hours the next morning parked along the grandstand. Only to be told by one of their officials "We Don't want you here" referring to all of the bracket racers. It kind of leaves me with some bad feelings. I wont even start on how we were treated at the Nostalgia race. I would rather have fewer races than play second fiddle to groups of A holes who put on these speciality races. And before I get off my soap box. Pri's new slogan should be. PRI The only show in the world where the people who will end up buying and using the parts that are being sold are not allowed to attend. But if you don't race, have no intention of ever racing and don't have any kind of job involved in racing or automotive work period (IE trash truck driver) Give us a call we got a admission pass for you. Ok I will get down now. LOL

I hope a GMP official didn't say they don't want us here. But you never know. If so I'm sure Curtis or Chris would like to have a word with them

If so I'm sure Curtis or Chris would like to have a word with them [/quote] When I finally got in and teched friday which was another ordeal. (first told to goto staging lanes, then end of the track, then staging lanes, then back to end of the track again LOL) I had some free time while waiting so I went to the tower to voice my concerns. I was told NMCA had rented the track and could to as they pleased. I should take it up with them NMCA. If I did not like what they had to say I was free to go home. It was a NMCA offical who told me friday morning that they did not want us there. And only allowed us to have a points race during their event because Gateway would not allow them to have their race if they did not let us have a points race. The whole race was a cluster. In the interest of full disclosure. I ran well that weekend. Even won the gamblers race. So I am not pissed off about it because I did not run well that weekend or because the track was bad ect ect.
