Racing coverage

To the editor:

I would like to know what sporting events were so pressing this past weekend that you could not spare a single reporter to cover the NHRA races at Heartland Park Topeka? How is it that you could get the results of every other race taking place on Sunday, including the Monaco Grand Prix, but not the results of races taking place less than 30 miles away? There wasn’t even enough space in Monday’s paper for an associated brief on the races?

While I am glad that you FINALLY devoted quite a bit of copy to the Indy 500 this year, I hardly think that gives you reprieve for not even acknowledging the closest races to Lawrence this weekend. I think a sport (the NHRA) that has roots in Great Bend, Kansas, deserves better.

Allison Folger,
