Summer Plans
 

The NHRA Div.1 schedule has been shared along with the P.C. Richards National Open dates for Canada:

TMP June 12-14
Napierville July 17-19
Miramichi July 24 - 26

Here's a note from the Atlantic Canadian SSA folks.

"The NHRA National Open at Miramichi Dragway again falls the weekend following Napierville's open, making the perfect vacation opportunity to hit 4 events, grab 4 grade points, and enjoy beautiful Eastern Canada all in less than 2 weeks mid summer!"

I would like to challenge the membership to saddle-up for this tour and show some love to our neighbours from down east!! :)

Re: Summer Plans
 

I will be their all three races, running in Super Gas with my 57 Don Davis Corvette. Looking forward to the eastern tour!:)

Re: Summer Plans
 

We do see a few Pure Stockers in our local series. Some of them run the National Open in Miramichi

With regards to the races, the trip, the sights, feel free to PM any specific questions.

Re: Summer Plans
 

The Border is pretty straight forward.

Passport is best. Some may use enhanced license but not sure.
Ownership paperwork for racecar and tow vehicle

no weapons, no fruits veg meat in cooler.

pretty easy

Re: Summer Plans
 

Jeff and Mark:

I am planning to try and hit as many as possible.
Have other obligations but loving the idea.

Napierville July 17-19 looks the best
Miramichi July 24 - 26 and Miramichi in August 15/16th are challenging.

Would have to fly back and forth parking the Car, Trailer and Tow Car.
Where would I fly in and out of to race at Miramichi?

Going to try and video as much of the trip as possible.

Also was a Contingency sponsor with IHRA Pure Stocker Challenge.
Would it be prudent to offer contingency if a PSer wins or comes RUP

Hi Dan

We have hijacked Dave's summer plans post. PM sent

Re: Summer Plans
 

Sadly, there will not be a trip to Miramichi Dragway, as the Covid19 tainted season has forced NHRA Div1 to cancel the event.

The Napierville race WILL be held, with new dates of July 24/25 - 2 races, and I would assume 2 grade points as in the past.

Please make every effort to make the trip to Montreal....you will not be disappointed!!

Re: Summer Plans
 

I think that you may be disappointed. The border is not opening until July 21 and there will be most likely be restrictions for anyone coming into Canada.
I will be surprised if the NHRA staff will rush across just to put this race on.
And, I doubt that may US racers will make the trip, with so many racing opportunities south of the border.
