This is not a big deal one way or the other. Of course I was thinking about the touring racers....and NHRA support vehicles, running up and down the road.

Not trying to ruffle any feathers.

I had an ideal adjustment to the schedule (based on my bud Gary Hansen's idea), but it might back up 'Vegas to either mid-late April or early May?:

1. Pomona
2. Chandler
3. Gainesville
4. Commerce
5. Charlotte
6. Houston
7. Las Vegas
8. Topeka

What do you all think about this? The travel sting wouldn't be quite so bad with something like this? I also noticed that Toyota isn't on board with either the Sonoma or the Las Vegas national events....I wonder if that's a sign for their future involvement in the pro-teams operations?

Makes perfect sense from a racer's travel standpoint but with # 3, 4 & 5 races in a row don't see NHRA going with it. Projected poor ticket sales will be the reason.
