Re: Entrys Low at Pomona
Right now it takes a grade point 7 to sign up for SS at the Gators. I have 5 grade points and can't enter until the 18th.
I don't know about Pomona but that is probably why the Gators are empty right now... |

Re: Entrys Low at Pomona
Unless NHRA had a meeting with the DOT of California, there maybe a low pro car count due to the trailer issues. It cost the one racer last year from what I understand $17K to get his rig loaded onto a low boy to get out of California. All most all the rigs are illegal according to California due to the lenght. How many changed there rigs out to satisfy California?

Re: Entrys Low at Pomona
As I understand the problem, CA has an overlength provision for race car rigs, but it didn't specify that the trailer can be over 53 which is the limit, and almost all the pro rigs are 56 hence the problem, and unlike Florida which has a $15 one year permit for such rigs and are really glad to see you and take your money. I don't understand why a state that is completely broke hates all things that help the economy, but then again, its the left coast. I'm sure they can just legislate themselves out of debt (9 bil) NHRA should complete the move to Indy, do away with Pomona (the neighbors hate the crowd, and the economic impact too). Looks like the sportsmen are going, but the pros maybe just didn't register yet.

Re: Entrys Low at Pomona
CA also has a max limit for all rigs non commercial of 65 ft. Some of the friends last fall were turned around on I-10 and sent back to AZ. The friend was told any rig registered RV is limited to 65 ft.
It amazes me how STUPID some states can be by running revenue out of the state with these silly rules. I am not sure I will be going back again... My 2 Cents Rick Cates |
