On Sunday all racers are requested to stay and help spoof up the place for the Gators. BTW they are repaving and reportedly trying to freshen the place for the 50th.

Disappointed Reynolds is no longer hosting an event; great people, plenty of parking on grass and staging lanes are downhill....

Any clue as to why the Division 1 event at Virginia Motorsports Park was moved to October? It's been on the schedule in April since they came back to NHRA.

[1320racer]

from what I've heard in the lanes...

many from points farther north don't want to travel to VMP at all no mind that time of year with the possibility of cold and wet weather. By moving it to the last race of the season, those not in contention can opt out.

Do they get anything for their time or just the pleasure of being slave Labor for the NHRA?

I heard that they are going to run class for stock & super stock at the baby Gators race instead of at the Gators. They are doing this because of this year is the 50th annual and there will be a lot of extra festivities going on.

Not sure they need 4 days but last year Orlando and Gainesville were big and I would expect more in 2019. Plus I heard something about running class for Gators at the Baby Gators.
