Z-Max Sportsman Racers will finish at Gainesville

[C and W Racing]

I'm sure the reason they chose Gainesville is because of several reasons. It's an NHRA owned track, so they don't have to pay someone else for the use of their track, It's having a race run already so the track will have to be prepped for that and not have to prep a track at a different location. I'm sure they want it concluded as soon as possible so people chasing points know where they stand. Yes I know it is almost a month after this race, but I doubt that they put everything together to race somewhere else at the drop of a hat when they already have this race on the schedule. Yes I know it sucks for a lot of racers, but it sure is better than them deciding to finish it in Dallas as well. lol

Well said mr. Null. Love to watch sportsman race so I can take pictures, after this feassco, think I will start looking at divisionals in div 1 and 3. Lot better car count that "the belago of drag racing brings". They will probably require you to enter the national event in order to finish this one.

This is exactly why NHRA should of never got rid of late year east coast divisionals. That's why it shouldn't be Valdosta(SGMP) before Gainesville National, it should be the Gainesville divisional. Renolds and SGMP should be at the end of the year, so should VMP divisional, just in case. Remember when Atco use to be after the Dutch!!! NHRA needs to seriously reconsider late season divisionals as a contingency plan for situations like this one and not as a cold or inconvenient situation. With the cost of racing already out of control, why isn't NHRA and even our representatives not making more races logistically feasible for sportsman racers. If the pros don't mind going from NC to Texas to PA and back to Vegas, good for them!

They could be like some of the local events and just split the payout, yellow bullet was a 3 day race and they split payout after 1st round rainout Sunday and they still could of run monday which was labor day. Rumor has it racers wanted payout split up.

How do you split up sticker money?
