IMO, the drivers and car owners should tell NHRA that they will not race on any track that is not in good condition. How many $$$ did this track condition cost to the car owners in broken parts and lost rounds? We're just lucky it didn't result in any accidents.
John, I bet had the teams known about this bump earlier, or had known how bad it was, NHRA would have forced HRP to fix the problem! I'll bet you anything that bump won't be there next year!

I'm another person that can't believe they had to race with the track like that. They've already had enough cars coming apart from the normal stresses of making a full pass, did they really need to put all those drivers lives in further danger by making them hit a speed bump at 300+ mph. Do you think the SFI and the engineers figured these stresses into their calculations?
