No alcohol cars at divisionals in 2012

[Angelo DiTocco]

Mike, I'm with you - I wouldn't want to see the Sat qualifying run cut out from the program (unless something else was done: read below). We have a quite a few folks in D1 who at a number of points races have no choice but to show up on Sat due to work, etc. But I'm all for running the entire race on Sat afternoon & evening.

Although.... a number of D1 racers chatted recently about the possiblity of having a late day Qulifying session run on Friday evenings.... (maybe 8 - 9 PM or so) if things were to go a Sat Elims only format..... that way even late comers (i.e. the ones who usually can only show up on Saturdays) could have chance to get on the sheet for Saturday Elims. I don't know if the nhra folks would consider something like that as it would extend their work day on Fridays.... but I really think it could be viable option.

Sunday could still be held in reserve for bad weather.... and also many folks who would have otherwise had to not participate (assuming the format change) would still be able to be included.

Anyway those are my thoughts -

BTW - where is that Thanksgiving weekend Footbrake race being held?

AD,
The Footbrake race is at Coastal Plains Dragway in Jacksonville, NC. It's one of the fastest tracks in the country. great air and the bite is there also. You will run numbers there that you never have.
Also the payout is great too. Not many races around paying $20,000 to win.

www.staginglight.com/footbrake No transbrakes or 2-steps, but air/elect. shifters are ok. If you can hoof it, come on down! Be cool to have some Class cars there.

With all this talk about no alky classes at divisionals who are we to think that this won't happen at national events for stock/super stock.
