Re: Any news from NHRA About the rest of the season
Nothing from NHRA, but, there were plenty of rumors in Indy, ranging
from 10-12 Nationals to season over after the US Nationals. However, it was nice to be racing in Indy. Dan Foley

Re: Any news from NHRA About the rest of the season
I've heard a few grumblings that Atlanta Nat will get canned and replaced with another Indy the weekend before the US Nats, I don't think it will be a Sportsman Attended event because Bowling Green D3 event is that weekend. I've also heard the rumor after the US Nats the season would be done or also heard a Double National at Dallas and then season over. I honestly can't see Maple Grove, Charlotte or Gainesville happening with the restrictions (IN PA) and new spikes going on in each state.
I just know that if that's the case they need to make an announcement soon on what they're doing about the Lucas Oil National Champs. I mean how do you crown a National Champ when it's all over the place. I know they did the adjustments mid-year for how much you can claim but, I'm sure they didn't expect every race to be at Indy and technically the only Nationals that have been run for sportsman so far have been Pomona, Phoenix, Gainesville - pre virus and Jegs Sportsnats at Columbus and you'll have one in D1 next weekend in Epping and maybe the US Nats. I'm sure a few people would have adjusted their schedule to attend more or less if they knew what was going on. I mean like poor D6 has had one Divisional and no Nationals and D1 has had 2 so far and it might be Epping and VMP from here on out but, just doesn't seem right to crown a National Champ over this mess of a year. |

It’s called an adjustment to the schedule. Why penalize the racers that have the ability to race and earn points? It’s not there fault that the schedule is Screwed up . I’m sure the Pros will be awarded championships. It is what it is .Good luck to the racers racing for a championship

Re: Any news from NHRA About the rest of the season
National or Division Champs?
What about the Canadian racers? Have those racers had any races to count? I do not have any answers to any of the questions however, the Canadian racers are the ones really blocked out with the border closing. I just know I have wasted one whole year after starting the season so well and still going well when we get to race. I mainly do this for fun and let the points fall where they may fall. At my age I am not sure how many more years I have to race and this has been a waste of what I have left. Just My Take Rick Cates Canyon, TX |

He was in Colorado at Darrel Zimmerman's funeral last week so I am going to expect that email this week sometime. Travis Hilton told me he could not post it as it was NHRA's information and he was not authorized to release it. A number of people have asked the same questions about the payouts. In years past it seems like I remember the payouts being posted however, I am old and not sure my memory is correct. Time will tell. Rick Cates Canyon, TX |
