BOBBY BENNETT: IT\u2019S TIME FOR ALL 1000<\/span><\/a> – Competition Plus.com<\/em> – July 13, 2010<\/strong><\/p>\n

“…As for Pro Stock running to the 1,000 foot, the Seattle debacle wouldn\u2019t have happened if everyone was running to the 1000, especially since the NHRA hasn\u2019t dropped the hammer on decrepit facilities the likes of Firebird [Phoenix] and Pacific Raceways [Seattle].

My personal comment<\/span>:\u00a0 Decrepit?\u00a0 I think that is a bit harsh, in fact it flat pisses me off!\u00a0 Unless a track is lazer flat and repaved every couple of years these professionals always blame the tracks for the problems.\u00a0 Is Bennett providing cover for the NHRA?\u00a0 The fact is, on Friday & Saturday when the tracked was sprayed to the 1320 there was no problem in the Pro Stock class. When it wasn’t for the first round of eliminations there was a big problem! After the track prep was corrected the Pro Stock cars got down the track in fine fashion!<\/strong><\/p>\n

As to shortening the track to 1000-feet, that perhaps is going to be the reality to spare more lives.\u00a0\u00a0 And the fact remains that PR has one of the longest shutdown areas on the circuit and that didn’t spare the tragic loss of life of Mike Niver… – Roger Young<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
