Utah track returns to NHRA for 2013
After a three year affiliation with the IHRA, Rocky Mountain Raceways near Salt Lake City will be returning to the NHRA as part of Pacific Division Seven for 2013 and beyond.

“We appreciate our relationship with IHRA, and we hope we did a good job for them as a member track. We feel at this time that switching back to the NHRA sanction will help increase our car count across all of our classes,” said Mike Eames, Rocky Mountain Raceways General Manager and Ron Craft, Rocky Mountain Raceways Drag Strip Manager.

By moving to the NHRA, Rocky Mountain Raceways and the State of Utah once again have the opportunity to host a Lucas Oil Divisional race that will draw racers and fans from across the Western United States. The race is tentatively scheduled toward the end of Rocky Mountain Raceways’ 2013 racing season.

“The move to NHRA makes it easier for RMR racers and out-of-state racers, because they will not have to carry two separate licenses, chassis certifications, etc just to run a few events at RMR. It should strengthen the competition with the Boise, Grand Junction, and Las Vegas cars that run at Rocky Mountain Raceways,” said Eames. [9/21/2012]
