TS/TD at National Events - Here it comes!!

Just a few points, I dont think they will eliminate any classes, but I agree with Tom, they'll cut the counts down in some classes to accomodate the new classes. I cant see E-Town taking on the Top cars, they are always strapped for time. In D1, I could see the Grove, or VMP as the tracks to have TS/TD.
I dont know how many cars they will have in TS/TD, but I will say if you arent running in the 6's, you'll probably be spectating.

most def. on the 6's , just think about the pro mods that can't run in th high 5's or 6.0's , they will now be looking to run T/S . So it will probably be like IHRA and a bump of 6.80's low 90's in a 48 car feild

You're right Bryan, it'll be a load of "Pro Mod" guys coming outta the woodwork to "blast off" and try and bracket race. This will push alot of the average TS guys out of the National event picture.

Rumor has it VMP not on NHRA 2010 National Event Schedule....Charlotte getting a 2nd date! Wonder if it's true, guess we'll find out at Indy.

The Agent got word this morning from one of his most reliable sources from the Charlotte area, who said that Bruton Smith’s drag racing “Speed Palace” would indeed be getting a second NHRA date in 2010. According to the source, VMP will lose its spot on the NHRA calendar (again) and that date will be transferred to Z-Max Dragway at Charlotte.

This bit of info is more likely true than the report in CompetionPlus.com that Memphis Motorsports Park would lose its date, especially considering that the Dover Downs Entertainment employed track manager at Memphis has said that the track’s contract with the NHRA for a Full Throttle series race is in force through 2010. It also makes sense considering the small crowds that the Virginia track has drawn at NHRA or IHRA national events over the years.

VMP might have given up its NHRA date to Smith in return for some form of contract buyout by Smith with the blessings of the NHRA.

Doing that would make sense on a lot of different levels. [8/10/2009]
