Add to that the Goodguys race in Bowling Green. Another fan drain.

There are just too many races! IMHO, NHRA needs to cut it's number of National Events by at least 1/3 and preferably by 1/2. That would shift more importance to the Divisional level and make National Events into something special again.

I agree with Billy so many races and organizations it doesn't leave any room to avoid having races conflicting each other.

x2 with Billy on big race reduction...just too many choices on places to race today.

Wasn't always this way...remember the old days?

Maybe it's good (in a way)....BUT......

Did that with Brainerd and Joliet div races

Never thought I would see there be "too many" races to pick from.

Good problem to have, IMO, considering what the flip side could be.

It does create a bit of problem with all the races stacked on top of each other tho.

Gotta pick and choose the most important ones first.

Pro sponsors will love that.

They do it to alleviate the congestion. ZMAX was packed. They still ended up running 2 rounds of Sportsman on Saturday night. Imagine if another 40-50 cars showed.
I had a Big Buck race promoter tell me once he would rather have 200 cas than 300 because tsmore manageable and he still makes a good profit.
