Norwalk is such a nicer facility than C-bus, so I think this is a Major step forward for NHRA! My only hesitation is the time of year, Middle of summer in Ohio?

My good friend and co-worker is from Ohio and says weather at that time of the year is usually mid to upper 80's. |

Whew! That's some article. Thanks for posting the long awaited link.
Here's hoping that NHRA doesn't undo the magic that the Bader's seem to have woven into that track.

Well, Kudos to Jon Asher then !! A great in-depth story on a major event for drag racing.

That may be the case, but the Humidity will kick your ass!

Thanks for posting the link. I thought that was a good interview.
BTW, given the hot weather we experienced for the Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways this summer, I sure could have went for some of that dollar a pound ice cream they offer at Norwalk.

Joe, people in those parts, and down South like here in Florida, are used to HUMIDITY. Westerners like you are not used to 50-100% humidity year round, and believe me, I know what low humidity feels like having lived in Arizona for 25 yrs. Took me 5+ years to adjust to humidity after I moved here, and I'm not sure I have completely, after 15 years in Florida! |

I do, and I was extremely happy when they moved the race to May. The current June date is a little close to the peak humidity part of the year in NJ. |
