It is sad that NHRA officials have not fostered a better relationship with the people that run Sonoma, Famosa and Pomona on behalf of Division 7 racers. With the loss of so many drag strips in California, its critical for us to maintain drag racing programs at these three NHRA tracks that meet NHRA member needs. Such programs should be more than just cater to ET bracket racers and street cars. We need a National open at one of these tracks, designated test n tune dates with good track prep and stock/super stock combo dates. NHRA needs to represent the racers that support their LDRS and National events by working with member tracks to ensure track schedules meet NHRA racer needs. Specifically, we need the return of the LDRS at Sonoma the weekend before the National event, we need a test n tune plus stock/super stock combo at Famoso the weekend before the Winternationals and we need a National Open at Pomona perhaps combined with Lynsi Snyders' In N Out Burger Anniversary Celebration.
