Re: NHRA Lucas race schedule
Keep in mind the Tracks have a lot of input in these dates. They don't make a lot off these events so NHRA works with them.
Also heard we are going back to Silver Dollar anything to that? Anymore on the Open Series? |

Re: NHRA Lucas race schedule
Chip, I was going to mention that a few days ago. I know speaking to a few D1 tracks while putting together my .90 schedule, they have told me it's hard to take a T&T or and Import event off their schedules for a Divisional when it's all money makers. With all the T&T, Grudge, Bracket Events (If run properly), Import events sometimes a Divisional takes a backseat to these money makers. Nothing against a Divisional but, the tracks can make some cash on a Divisional but, we all know it's tough to get people in the seats if John Force isn't in attendance. Just look at SGMP, one week you have the Duck events and the place it packed to the gills, the following weekend you have the D2 event and have 10 people in the stands and your wondering if they got to drunk the week before and decided to stay in between events..lol. I mean Bader had the right mindset with the Cavalcade of Stars, let them in for Free but, up the price on certain items so you make a buck or two at a Divisional (Like the old ADRL approach)..I think Bandimere did the same thing this year and the place was PACKED. You go to Cecil or Atco on a Friday night and you swear it's a National event with the people in the stands, hanging along the fence and the 7 or 8 lanes of T&T cars....all paying $25-30 and it's cash in hand for the track, it's hard to give that stuff up. So I'm sure they are all trying to plan things out accordingly to good weekends that they don't have something planned already. It might not fit into our plans but, they have to do what they can to keep these tracks open.

Re: NHRA Lucas race schedule
I think if they made class runoffs an option for the test and tune day, it would be of interest to several more cars that would not go otherwise.
As part of tnt it could be excluded from AHFS if they wanted to. I would just charge an extra charge and only allow entry for those also entered in the LODRS. Figure out what it would need to be $$$ so the track makes a buck and try it. Heck they could even offer a grudge deal where racers put up x amount of $$$ to race each other heads up no breakout I think it would attract more cars. It also would leave those rest of the day for teardown.

Re: NHRA Lucas race schedule
To bad they put SGMP a month before Gainesville. It’s tough to get a diesel truck to start in Minnesota in early February. 😊

Re: NHRA Lucas race schedule
There’s some things I don’t understand (such as why Ozzy would be willing to swap SGMP and Orlando dates, don’t see how it will not hurt both car counts but guess it’s his business and he’s pretty savvy). Wish Burton would let us enjoy a Divisional at Charlotte and/or Bristol but again I don’t pretend to be a successful businessman.
Smart money would be to park your rig somewhere in D4 if Brogdon is paying out the bonus fund again in 2022.
