Divisional Schedules

I wish Divisional schedules came out as quick as we learned about the D3 and D5 doubles at WWT next season

I still wish I would hit the lottery too,chances are very slim in both cases 🤣 when I was working this was very frustrating when having to ask for days off ,but for some reason evidently unknown to man this has never happened that I?m aware of.

I hope that D7 schedules better than they did this year. Scheduling a double divisional in Bakersfield the weekend before the All Stars race was insane! It was a 1800 mile tow from Bakersfield and Ennis Q1 was Wednesday at noon. Some guys raced in St. Louis the weekend before, which added more travel days. We raced the first race in Bakersfield, headed east, had RV issues, then drove 27 hours non stop in order to run the D4 race. If we had stayed for race 2 in Bakersfield it would?ve been on a prayer that we got there in time. The Super Street rep did run both races, had issues in Albuquerque and had to rent a truck to get the rest of the way. He got there very late the night before (Jared stayed up late to help him get parked).

We were the only division in Ennis with no Division Director present as the ET finals were the same weekend in Vegas.

Be also nice if they scheduled the Bakersfield race at least a week later. Last 2 years the heat was crazy.

At the track, I was told that Bakersfield will be a week earlier next year... Todd Rodenburg

It would also be nice to have a centrally located National Open at either Pomona or Bakersfield early in the year when we have the potential to set national records.

Scheduling is a very very tough task. Keep in mind that divisionals are not much of a money maker. I would wager that any track makes more money at an Import race , no prep race or a few other specialty races. So if I am running a track, the money makers are getting the best dates.

Agree Justin!

They don?t advertise ( at least I didn?t hear it ) for divisional races.
Two wheel standers, two jet cars or a couple of Fuel exhibition cars would add to the stands. They did it for years and it worked.
They have time to run the super class shootouts as a bonus but that does nothing for the fans. And I?m not dinging my super buddies either. 🤷*♂️
I didn?t see a car count for BF?
How can you complain if you don?t attempt to pack the stands?
I?m running out of time and places to race so the writing is on the wall out here..

Jmho.
