    I'm in Houston, on the spectator side, in the "staging area", ready to get parked in the morning. I got here at 5:10pm. I called the track on Monday to double check what time they were going to quit parking today, the answer was "nhra said 6pm". So I spent the whole day, drove down here, got the rig washed, ate lunch, stopped to fill up on fuel, didn't speed(knowing I'd still get here in time), only to have the guard at the gate tell me all the nhra people left at five. Obviously they're not gonna care(though I'm going to tell them anyway), but it just pisses me off, since I'll bet I don't get into my spot until noon tomorrow, so what was the point of leaving this morning and wasting an entire day? I just wish they'd stick to what they told the track

    edit: i'm not surprised, just ticked
