Unbelievable ?..
 
The 3 west coast races are not even close to a full field yet. I realize that there are many factors that contributed to this ….lack of race tracks, NHRA, soaring costs, NHRA, …….

Since Sonoma Raceway has left sportsman racing high and dry and the closing of Sacramento Raceway ( only one National Open) travel is the biggie..
Bakersfield is 5 hours from the Bay Area but after that it?s 12-15 hours to race!
I?m not complaining but it sure hits us all hard.

Hopefully the PMR combo race at the Vegas Muscle event will do well?if not then the demise of D7 class racing is surely dire?

Sonoma is a pity, same deal with Charlotte, they seem to think only the National events are worth their time.

Same type of deal here in the charlotte NC area. I believe I can get to about 10-12 race tracks in under three hours. More than enough to go around.

Be thankful of what you have and support them as best you can. Our new Flying H track is mainly catering to the NP and small tire racers. Hopefully this changes next year. Looks like MO-KAN for us in this area to go test.

From central Wyoming my nearest in Division race is Earlville, 900 miles away. Nearest out of Division race is Billings at 400 miles.
My regular bracket track is 289 miles. Vegas is 700, Grand Junction CO is 275 miles. Doesn't make sense to be a drag racer in Wyoming other than we are comfortable with driving 100 to 150 miles one way for a shopping day and dinner out.
