I think it would be really cool to have a National Event on an 1/8 mile track. :o

And you think many NHRA racers would show up? Suspect they'd much rather see Charlotte have an Open, but doubtful given Bruton doesn't seem all that interested in having anything additional to what they run there now. With two Divisionals in North Carolina this year that may address NHRA racers wanting to run in the region. Of course if the IHRA falters there would no doubt be some of their regulars who would like to run there, question is would NHRA D2 really pursue it and risk losing $.

I would not expect many NHRA cars to show up.

That is good to hear that they aquired the land I hope they also got some for additional pit space, they may need it!

Well now that the (now former) Southwestern International Raceway (now Tucson Dragway), has joined Rocky Mountain Raceway, by returning to being an NHRA D7 track, the southwest no longer has a dog in this fight, and with the popularity of the RMR double-header last year, I don't see any change in that for the foreseeable future. Good luck to you Northwestern D6 racers, because you're the only western USA places for IHRA west of Texas!

IHRA has run National events for sportsman on the 1/8 mile at Carolina and Huntsville, Ala before and as I recall had good turnouts.
