With Denver and Sonoma off the schedule hard to believe Seattle National will happen. On FB some of the National Event tracks are posting their new dates, Gainesville in Sept for instance, and yep, it’s still hot in Florida then but they always draw a huge crowd.

Denver is the second race.

I just heard from one who knows these things, Sonoma is not kaput, it's the week after Vegas and before the Pomona finals. 16 in a row. Seattle will be the first race, then Denver, Brainerd, Topeka, Chicago, Indy... they actually took the travel into consideration. Needless to say any points meets will conflict.

If it stays true:

Aug 1 & 2 - Seattle
Aug 8 & 9 - Denver
Aug 15 & 16th - Brainerd
Aug 22nd & 23rd - Topeka
Aug 29 & 30th - Chicago
Sept 4 to 7 - Indy
Sept 12 & 13th - Maple Grove
Sept 19th & 20th - Charlotte
Sept 26 & 27th - Gainesville
Oct 3 & 4th - St. Louis
Oct 10 & 11th - Bristol
Oct 17 & 18th - Dallas
Oct 24 & 25th - Houston
Oct 31 & Nov 1st - Vegas
Nov 7 & 8th - Sonoma
Nov 14 & 15th - Pomona

Norwalk isn't on the revised schedule for those who are wondering. Will probably just be like the plan was Sportsman time runs and maybe 1st round Friday and Pros Sat & Sun till completion. Going to be tough if they have weather or because they are so close to the next event Monday will become the next option.

Can someone please point me in the direction that shows Sportsman will be running these 2 day National Events?
Last I heard it was Pro classes only.

I'm surprised there hasn't been another post about it yet, but D5 made a Facebook post this morning to announce that the Brainerd divisional scheduled for the weekend prior to the national will now be run essentially as a 'double' with the national. Divisional will begin Thursday, likely finishing during the day Friday. Sportsman runs for the national event will begin immediately following. Pros will run Saturday/Sunday only.

National event entry will still follow the traditional pre-entry/quota/grade point process.

This schedule has been circulating but please note NHRA's announcement yesterday was:

NHRA officials have announced that they are working with state and local officials as well as host tracks and teams on a revised Mello Yello Drag Racing Series schedule, which will be announced SOON
The season is expected to resume in August.

This is such a fluid situation and there is no actual schedule posted right now. I sure hope NHRA and the professional teams can hold on right now as even with low purses and dropped car counts for the sportsman, I like what we have. I am not speculating but do have my fingers crossed
