NHRA Unleashed

[chris3racing]

I have not gone back on the Stock Superstock page to make any post commenting on the threads that have now popped up about Pinks All Out. There are guys on there now talking about how great it was and to bad it is gone. I think it is funny that now that there is no drag racing show on the Speed Channel, except re-runs of Pinks All Out, everyone is concerned. Everyone was watching the re-runs over Christmas. I caught the first part of the show from Z-Max in 2009 and thought his comment was super. Mr. Byrd commented that at one of the greatest drag racing facilities ever built, a group of grass roots drag racers could come in and fill, "30,000+", the stands for two days and bring 560 race cars. Now everyone is concerned that there is no televised racing except ESPN.

We are just waiting for the Unleashed Schedule.

nhra unleashed and hard index racing is the closest thing to "CLASS" racing we bracket racers have. The only part better than stk/ss class is the fact that we run on a pro tree. It's killer !

I can see this Unleashed being the new drag racing for the future.I am watching it very carefully to see if it is a venue for me and the family.The spectators see 2 cars leave together and run heads up......good so far.No big pro field like an NHRA national event so the bracket racer is in the spotlight,good for sponsors.Their is a class for everyone so they shouldn't run out of cars and the all run field is good for someone who has to travel far .Good info here.Thanks

Any idea when the schedule is coming out?

lebanon valley dragway is having one in the middle of september.

That is welcome news. This in my opinion is what will propel the 1320 x crew to have more heads up idex racing. Tracks like atco and englishtown have nights dedicated to heads up and it doesn't interfere with regular sunday points racers. I would love to see the valley do something like that.

I like it and the videos on the NHRA web site were exciting to watch. Ive been a class legal car (stock and S/S) guy all my life but see this as a way to increase car counts and be affordable fun to us who are not wealthy.
