nmca at pomona

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.

You heard wrong.

The NMCA held this event there last year at Pomona as well. Track was not very good and the races were all shortened to 1/8th mile. My guess is it will likely happen again. We run a car in the NA10.5 class and some of these cars have a lot of HP....

Some years ago, 2002 I believe, we had a points race at Pomona. It didn't get finished, semi and final rounds were completed at the Vegas points meet some time later. What has changed since then is the fact that we have had only one divisional race in California per year for the last year or two. We know the mess at Fontana isn't completely over yet,but we have a total lack of local divisional races here at the largest regional concentration of racers in the country. I would love to see a points race and the West coast Jeg's Sportsnationals there,even if it means a little higher entry fee. Nothing like sleeping in your own bed at night and eating your usual meals while racing.I think they can run the extra races there in addition to the Winternationals and the World Finals. It's worth working on.

What is at Pomona two races a year plus NMCA is all there will be. NHRA is allowed sixteen noise days a year. Twelve are used up by the above mentioned meets.

What about the other four days, then? Sounds like something to kick around over lunch at Maria's.

So what do we have to do create a division 7 promotion company and go to nhra or LA county and book the track for four days,i mean it just seems kind of weird to have a complex that is just as good as any track in america and can't have a division race or sportsnational on it i mean every other division that has a national event also have there division race on the same track.
