Tulsa going NHRA in 2010

This leaves CRANDALL the only 1/4 mile IHRA track around this area. San Antonio gone and now Tulsa gone........there is Amarillo but it's not much to talk about.

I think it will be good for both. I think IHRA needs to pull back and concentrate on the SOUTH where the majority of their tracks and racers are located.
We loose Tulsa and gain VMP pretty good swap I think.

I'll agree 100% Chip. They do need to focus more on where the majority of their racers are. I'd also take VMP over Tulsa any day.

Sounds like a plan to me.

NHRA's national event schedule is already set & posted. I agree with Bob Orme that the most plausible explanation would be a new location for a "Lucas Oil" D-4 event. Houston's national event is set.
Looking at the 2010 NHRA schedule, it would put a D4 event just south of Topeka on the weekend before Topeka's national event, and we all know how they like to catch us coming and going with division races surrounding nationals.
