Absolutely!

Re: NHRA announces revised schedule
 

No offense, but who gives a hoot about the pros, how about us sportsman that have already traveled and made commitments, New England dragway 20 min from my house and Virginia gone, now what? I went to Gainsville to get the early jump on things, I could care less about the pros and their “schedule”

Re: NHRA announces revised schedule
 

Yes it is a rough blow for you D1 guys. Closest nationals for you now are Reading and I assume Charlotte...which isn't ideal to say the least. Try to remember, though, that isn't the poster you quoted's fault nor is it the Pro's fault.

I know it sucks...and I hope you're still able to get out and enjoy some racing this season whenever that is. I also hope you're able to get some special consideration from NHRA if you had already entered those races

Re: NHRA announces revised schedule
 

I hope, and pray, that they are able to stick to this schedule. Who knows what changes might be made in the coming weeks.

Remember, it is the PROS that most of the fans go to see. Not the way any of us like it, but just the facts. When was the last time you have seen throngs of people around the sportsman pits???? The stands are vacated when other than the PROS run. Yes, there are many fans who watch it all, but that is not the norm.

Good luck to all of us waiting to go see races and let's all stay safe and healthy.

Re: NHRA announces revised schedule
 

NHRA is put into an impossible situation, and this is the best they could come up with to not only cater to the Pros, but how about the national event staff that has to travel with all of the equipment to these races. Let alone, you have tv contracts in place; it is truly a logistical nightmare for everyone.

I get that the Division 1 crowd takes a bit of a hit losing 2 nationals, but there are a lot of people across the nation that face this very issue every year (D6 for example). If you truly intend to chase points, you will find a way.

Let's be thankful that NHRA has come up with a solution to a current WORLD problem and hope that they can stick with this schedule. I think more double divisionals are on the table as well as maybe some SPORTSnationals per division. The DDs have an unenviable task of trying to scrounge up a schedule and I wouldn't want to be a single one of them.

Re: NHRA announces revised schedule
 

You are assuming sportsman will be run at these events. This Maybe Nhras way to finally get rid of us at national events. I certainly hope not

Re: NHRA announces revised schedule
 

This can't be good for any of the tracks. Just like every business hard hit, I hope they all manage to remain viable. Losing a National has to be a big hit.

And a six month marathon for the Pros. Uncharted territory.

Re: NHRA announces revised schedule
 

Yes the fans come to see the pros, but don't forget we pay the way for them. Is Div 1 the only division that lost 2 nationals ? I haven't looked at the old and new schedule yet. Maybe the tracks that lost a national can get an extra divisional ? No easy answer someone is always going to be upset or effected by this.

Re: NHRA announces revised schedule
 

Maybe NHRA should do the right thing and let 128 cars run at the nationals for the divisions that lost races. Work with the sportsman for a change.

Re: NHRA announces revised schedule
 

Wondering if I understand this correctly, there are 6 events that are two day events for Mello Yellow class only, does that mean there are no sportsman classes run at those events ??
