No Class @ NED Sports "WHY" ?

MR DERBY CITY · 06-12-2020, 09:45 AM

What was his clarification ? Asking for a friend ?

Really wish they could add another day and class to this event. NED's national event has been lost this year, and that is a shame. At least there is a race added, but class sure would be nice.

Let's just say this race happend with alot of work and help from NED and the D1 crew trying to get us another NHRA race and class just isn't in the picture. This year has brought on many challenges personally and financially ! ! Let's be grateful for what we have this year !

Marc, although I and many other racers agree on your point of view, I believe the driving force for the SN in Epping had more to do with giving D1 racers an opportunity to race for National Event Payouts and Points. I'm sure this is what Dave most likely explained. For those racers wanting to race for those reasons, this will allow them to have the opportunity to do so within the division. IMHO

So are we to sign up for this race as a national or divisional race?

AMEN! I love the Sportsnats races...National event payout without the hassles of the pros...What is there not to like....D1 racers always have big turnouts and deserve this race....

Every Sportsnationals should have Class Eliminations!!! Being an abbreviated year, there should be no AHFS in effect or the 1.20 rule. We have been pinned up for 6 or more months, let us enjoy the time we have left to race and let the cars & drivers turn'em loose, you'll see better racing.
