NHRA announces revised schedule

[Bob Sherwood]

As I see it in the email I recieved from NHRA , the 6 races flagged as Mello Yellow classes only, it says they will be condensed to run on Saturday and Sunday only . I take that to mean no sportsman classes at those races. Those races would be Houston,Bristol, Norwalk, Seattle, Topeka, and Reading !! ????

I didn’t receive said email. Was simply looking at their website, which shows 3 day events. I have no clue!

You would have to think NHRA thought about this for at least 5 minutes before posting... with that, maple grove is a 2 day PRO race, but looking at the start date it starts on friday. so MY brain tells me that sportsman is friday qualifying. eliminations Saturday and finish Sunday... im 99.9% sure thats how it will be If this works out. just be happy they have a plan from June on.

There is a real simple fix for this. Take one Divisional from each Division and let the points count toward National points and not Divisional Points. Change nothing else. I would think this would be a win win situation for everyone. BP

All of the rescheduled events, except INDY, are listed as 3 Day races.

Joliet, Brainerd, Dallas, Vegas, and Pomona are all 4 day races on the schedule.

When I first read the announcement earlier, I interpreted the message that the shortened events would be Pro-only, but after reading again I'm not so sure.

Believe the designated two day events have Pros qualify on Saturday and race Sunday (possibly with one Pro Q pass on Sunday morning). Face it, there will be less full fields and think they’re trying to reduce the financial strain on back to back races. Expect more sportsman rounds on Friday of those events so possibly just one Q sportsman run to set ladders and racing for class is probably toast except for Indy. Just how I interpret the deal...

keep in mind it may change again. universal theme park originally closed till april 1st, now rescheduled closed till april 19th. and if you think this is a hoax, read bobby bennett's editorial on "competition plus magazine" about how he thought he was going to die from this virus.

Read the NHRA POST 2 day Mello Yellow Series classes only! for Houston,Bristol,Norwalk,Seattle,Topeka,Reading, I hope not but it looks like they found a way to shorten the events.

Each of those events lists 3 days on the schedule. I interpret that to mean that while the PROS are only running Saturday and Sunday, the sportsman action is planned to take place starting on Friday at those events.

Remember, yesterday's press release and Brian Lohnes "walk-thru" were specifically geared toward the Mello Yello portion of the events. I do not currently interpret anything that they've written to mean that there won't be sportsman classes at these events listed...but of course right now they haven't specifically referenced the LODRS or announced anything regarding the LODRS yet.
