The mention of getting a NHRA National Event makes sense. The original posts indicated that they dropped an IHRA National for a couple of NHRA points meets, that didn't make money sense. I'm gonna miss being able to run in a national event every year, even if I haven't been able to go to 3+ points meets ($$$). Also I knew they would always run Stock.

No St Louis?

Isn't Gateway currently for sale?
Having a NHRA national event at Epping would be great for us up here. The last couple IHRA nationals haven't exactly broken any entry records and I'd suspect that a divisional there will probably out draw IHRA's national event entries.

The prospect of the national event at New England is great news. I wonder what upgrades NHRA will deem necessary for the track.

There was talk a few yrs. back about a Epping-to-NHRA changeover. At the time, I heard that NHRA wanted much more pit area, and much more PAVED pit area, but the biggest change they were looking for was moving the spectator bleachers on both sides farther back from trackside. I was told that this was the biggest change for NED to undertake. Supposedly, there were also a few other changes to be made, but those 3 were the biggest undertakings. Like I said, this is only what I was told....so if it's fact or not, I can't be sure... One more thing--- Racing at Epping in Sept. and Oct. is usually really great...Fall air in New England at a close-to-sea level, good-hooking, smooth track such as they have up there, will surely have the NHRA records falling at will...Joe Lombardo and his crew up there are great.....I wish them good luck.

Look at the first 3 events California, Florida, then Nevada?????????? How do they come up with this???? They must own stock in Diesel fuel!!! Makes no sense, why wouldn't they start on one coast and work across.

It actually doesn't settle down till e-town....

I know the NASCAR race is in Vegas but, it's for 1 weekend just bump it back a weekend, didn't there used to be a 3 week gap between Pomona and Phoenix up till a couple of years ago? Plus it's 1 weekend of racing less cause No Saint Louie this year...
