Perfect location for the 2nd US Class Nationals - probably should hold it the same weekend as Indy! LOL

That weekend would be finacial suicide. Maybe the weekend before the NHRA points race. The racers on the way to Indy could leave their rigs there then race the points race and go on to Indy ! Of course thats about a month off work for most. IF it happens.

Not likely.

But here's a good place for a real huge 3-4 day big money class race: Memphis.

Either in the spring, or the fall, when the weather is not miserable.

Decent centralized location, national event sized and capable facility.

Not an NHRA track, so NHRA can't pressure them.

I heard Memphis, PaLm Beach, and Imokolee (sp?) all 3 have just been sold (rumor yet to be proven) to the Arab dragster and funny car bill payer. They will probably all 3 go back to NHRA now after the IHRA race this month and next. Anyone know if its true????.

That's correct: 10.5 has no break-out, nor do any of the other "outlaw classes. First one through the traps wins. Gotta love it. And yes, there were alot more cars and alot more spectators in the stands. And I have seen the stands clear out when the .90 racers come up at Division Races, I mean that does look like some pretty lame racin'.

Both the track, and Comp Cams/TCI, generously support the class racers in the area, and we try to support them in return. That's the same purse you get from NHRA, and while we don't have a shot at contingencies, we do get treated like first class citizens, for a lot less money, and a lot less travel time.
Same thing here at the local IHRA track: $45.00 to run for a shot on some weekends for $2500.00. The pits and stands are full every weekend. Runnin' everything from stockers to outlaws.

The people who own PBIR purchased Memphis at auction.

Immokalee has apparently been sold. IHRA race is on.

Are there anyone else here that might consider running one of these index classes either at the "UnGlued" races or a Div. 2 points race?
