nmca at pomona

I wonder how the the nmca can put on a three to four day event at pomona and there is no division race there, can someone explain this logic.

Pomona is to costly for a division race.

Perhaps NHRA is using NMCA (ProMedia) as a "test-bed" for conducting Sportsman Racing events - you know that the winners in NMCA receive a "Wally" and they began offering classes to allow some of the super classes a racing opportunity for the westcoast racers.

You'd be very surprised how well an event they run, take a look at their contingency listing..........not to shabby and they are extremely racer friendly. Charlie Harmon and Steve Wolcott have done an exceptional job keeping this "little" organization going. They also now have a direct connection to Division 4 -- Trey Capps...............

How about having the Jegs Sportsnational at Pomona instead of having 3 races in vegas in 1 month. Oh that would make sense!

I wonder who makes the decision not to have a division are sportsnational at pomona,would it be nhra or the city or county of LA.

I have heard that NHRA gets to hold up to 5 or 6 events there and it is up to them what they want to do. I remember back in 2002 NHRA had the 50 year anniversary race there and it was packed. It was over 100 degrees that weekend and high humidity and people still came out to watch. If they had the Jegs races there it would attract a lot more people than Fontana did.
