The IHRA Crandall National event this year was scheduled on the same weekend as the NHRA Heartland Park National event. That timing was almost fatal for the Dallas track. Topeka drew far more sportsman entries from the area....it wasn't even close. The front gate at Dallas was also abysmal.
The facility is IHRA National caliber, and they may well have had the option to try hosting a Nitro Jam event in 2010. If offered the same scenario for next year as was this year, I would have, as a track operator, turned it down.
While on the subject of scheduling, the Utah Nitro Jam event for 2010 is scheduled for the same weekend as what is traditionally the LODRS event at Bandimere. The NHRA Div 5 schedule hasn't been released, but if the Bandimere LODRS is on the same weekend, Utah will be hurt.
