Rainout Monday at Epping, N.H., forces creative solution that combines three elements.
Top Fuel driver Leah Pruett called the creative compromise “one of the most ultimate race events Bristol has ever had, which in turn is going to be thrilling for fans every single day.”at the same event isn’t unprecedented. In October 2012, the rain-interrupted race at Reading, Pa., finished with the Pro Stock Motorcycle final round at Las Vegas. Then in September 2014, the Carolina Nationals at Charlotte shifted to Texas Motorplex, near Dallas.
“In a perfect world,” he said, “we really need a full day of cars running on the track along with PJ1 traction compound sprays and tire drags by the NHRA Safety Safari to get the track surface to the level that we need for the Top Fuel and Funny Car teams to perform the way we all want. Ideally, if you wanted to finish the Epping event separate from the Bristol event, running on the Monday after Bristol would have worked best, as far as the track having the best traction available.
“You have to try to win the round, but you also have to make the race. So that first qualifying round will be really important. It’s definitely a bonus for the fans, butt you have to be aware if lane choice matters for the next round, for example. Bristol is one of my favorite tracks, but the surface is one of the hardest tracks we compete on each season. It is definitely tricky, especially when it gets warm there.
“I like it,” Langdon said. “It’s going to put a lot more at stake. Every qualifying run will matter, and every eliminations run will matter. How they intertwined the #2Fast2Tasty Challenge, which will also be intertwined with the Epping race and the Bristol race qualifying. . . . I think it’s awesome, and I’m excited to be a part of it.“The situation in Epping was tough. There’s really no right or wrong answer to it, because any way you do it, some people will agree, and some people won’t.
