Sept. 24-25 Rocky Mountain Raceways West Valley, Utah

Why no Bakersfield or Sac or any other track that is within 500 miles of home..........

If brains where TNT, NHRA couldn't blow their Nose............

Sorry Bob this D7 schedule doesn't work so well for you, but after several years of it favoring California and Nevada sportsman racers primarily, it's about time the Utah and Arizona racers get a little bit of towing love!

I moved to Phoenix from Denver (nearly 8yrs ago), to get away from having only "1" divisional within 350 miles from home. Now thanks to the 2015 schedule (and our getting Fontana back into fold), I'll have 4 divisionals within 350 miles from my area, and in spite of R.M.R. being 730 miles away from home, their two divisionals for one tow cuts that in half (or 365), so now I and my fellow metro Phoenix area racers, get a chance to enjoy up to "6" divisionals within a net of 365 miles from home....I think this is historic for D7 Az. racers!!!! Moreover, I like the dates too, because they're not that close to each other week/month wise....other than R.M.R., which gets an ok from me because it's at least 5wks prior to the final 'Vegas race, and is 4 months behind the Fontana Div., which will work great for me with my work! I was planning on attending 5 divisionals again next year like I did in '08, but this schedule gives me a chance to attend 6 for the first time ever! The schedule actually favors the Las Vegas area sportsman racers the most, but I'm plenty happy with it too!!!!

WELCOME BACK AUTO CLUB RACEWAY, FONTANA, CA., THANK YOU ROCKY MOUNTAIN RACEWAYS FOR YOUR DOUBLE HEADER, & THANK YOU THE STRIP AT LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY FOR KEEPING YOUR TWO DIVISIONALS!!!! :)
