They will only need 2 days because unlike NHRA Sport Nationals they will not have pro mods to clean up after.

The way I read it the Budds Creek race is a traditional national event including pro's, not a sports national.

Tracy.....I was thinking the same thing! I guess we'll be racing at night!!

Was at MIR sunday testing (goofing off with all the nice weight IHRA had me add after Rockingham) anyway, was talking to Brian Starner from MIR as i think Royce was at the Banquet. He didnt even know about the two day event, but had said IHRA loses alot of money that weekend and now without nitro f/c they feel they can get it in with in two days. Remember a few years ago i think it was 2001 they qualified the sportsmen on Saturday and ran eliminations on Sunday and got it all done. Maybe we should all mention that they have a divisional there on friday for sportsmen. That would be fine with me. Just my thoughts.
