Default Re: Class Nationals event planning

Before calling for certain locations, consider NHRA's putting roadblocks in using their facilities. I believe a National Event Track as well as any NHRA owned track will face "objections" from Glendora.

Location and tech was impacted to some degree at the first US Class Nationals if my memory serves correct. Maybe things have changed.

I do think it may be possible to use a Divisional track as long as their are no competing NHRA events close by....for example, during the west coast swing, eastern LODRS tracks maybe would face less roadblocks

I think one big draw would be to hold the event when weather conditions are suitable for fast runs that we all would like to see, or participate in. Byron's 100 degree heat was not conducive to performance or participant enjoyment.....although surviving became a badge of honor, and kudos to Red and officials for a constant hook in those conditions
