I there is a rumor going around that the Fontana race is going to be 2 days instead of 3.
Can someone confirm or deny that. It is still listed as 3.

here's the email i got monday.
Hi All,

I learned today that the Fontana Division race will be a two day event. I just wanted to make sure that everyone has this information.

Thursday- Pit Parking from 2-7
Friday- Test n Tune 11-5
Saturday- Qualifying starts at 8am.

They have not posted a detailed schedule on nhradiv7.com yet but I believe they will soon.

Thank you,
Justin Lamb

So that probably means the entry fee will be $113.66?

The schedule is posted on the Division 7 page on NHRA Racer. Sorry Mike, no discount for this shortened divisional.

More money for Nhra more money for the track Nhra saves money on personal and it cost the racers more money per run, if you don't like it let them know, they will tell you it saves the racer money, but really how many show up Saturday for a division race. I can think of about a dozen out of a few hundred.

It will save me money. Minus 2 entries at $170. Minus 700 miles at $3.09 a gallon. Minus $200 for the lead after the Tues hp hit for the 302.
I think I will spend my entertainment dollars elsewhere that weekend.

For non-retired folks like me it is another days pay.

I think the $100 TnT fee is a little steep but since Andy can't go I need the seat time.

We are one of the dozen or so you mention because of work commitments.

The $3.09 a gal is only if your able to make the trip back on AZ fuel
