    They didn't NEED to. When THEY showed up there were so many that DIDN'T show up THEY raced.
    My hobby is needing a hobby.

      How long has it been since Larson attended, vs how long has it been that you've needed to register quickly?

      And you seem to forget that the top three finishers in each class get early entry, there is no "thrash" for them.

      Did you see Finnegan in the "wait list" line in 2017? he was there, I saw him.

      There's no shenanigans going on. Us guys who actually race DW would be the first to see them, if there were.

              From her own admission, she is a model.

                    I may live in Brazil. but not fantasy land.
                    Jim is correct. True story: in 2017 I wanted to race my car at Drag Week. I knew the staff of Hot Rod pretty well at the time and so they were all aware that I wanted to race. Nobody gave me advance notice of the online registration date. in fact, I missed out on in completely and only found out about it after the event was sold out. Because I didn't get registered onlineI had to show up to the event hoping to get in. Myself and about 19 other people who were standing around finally got in at about 7pm at night after everyone who was on the wait list that were present got into Drag Week. Nobody gets special treatment at Drag Week. Since then I've been fortunate to receive early registration because I finished in Second Place in 2018.

                      I know you're telling the truth, because I was there and I remember you waiting there in 2017. But you were pretty busy while you were waiting...

                            Still putting the car together, I hope the Drag Week part of this story has this much detail.

                                Almost done, this is the part they find the mistakes/hick ups of the build. I got to say they are REALLY determined to get to DRAG Week!
