I'm curious why they don't run 3 rounds of qualifying in Pro categories on Saturday if Friday is a washout. With all the effort and expense of getting to an event (for both teams AND fans), it' pretty lame to leave it at just two rounds when the weather on Saturday is good (especially at Phoenix, where they're not running PSM, TAD, or TAFC...time cannot be THE issue). Is there a rationale that I'm missing here?

I agree with Richard. Seems reasonable to me at least to accomodate the racers as best as possible when the weather is uncooperative.

How about it you panel of experts? Give Richard and I the inside details if you know?

What about the sportsman racers that didn't get any runs on Friday?

Heck 1 will do if we must....

All you need to have a legal event... top ten are in and the last six by time if it rains during the one shot...

why not qualify sunday 7am and then race??? 3 rounds in one day come on!! the rationale ur missing is that its always been this way.....tv does have a schedule to go by! you know the thing the peeps complain about the most....let me guess ur an ashley force fan?

All the Sportsmen got runs friday.

Dont think of the super classes got any runs in on friday.

Stock & Super Stock were the only cars on the track Friday.

And super street, otherwise they wouldn't have gone straight into eliminations this mornin'

According to NHRA.com, Stock and Super Stock got some sessions in. But none of the rest did. Check the results pages.

What Chris said. I "think" that it does occasionally happen with small classes and time constraints that they may have to go staight to eliminations.

I could be totally wrong tho!!!

I talked to many of the teams and I heard no whining about only two qualifying runs for this event. Mother Nature had her say and it didn't include any problems today whatsoever. Every team was quite well prepared but they were on a level playing ground with the track surface and conditions. All in all, it was pretty darned exciting seeing everyone scramble, pedal and push to get their cars in.

NHRA usually allows us at least 1 trial. I've been through my fair share of rainouts
