Jan. 29th thru 31st Palm Beach
Feb. 5th thru 7th Immokalee

Wow! Have to refreshen the stuff at the end of February

Re: 2010 div 2 sched
 

These races have become big financial risks due to shrinking car caounts and escalating sanction fees. SGMP has chosen not to risk the money even though theu really wanted the event and I would think Bristol made a similar decision.

Too bad that the "hidden costs" are keeping LODRS events away from some of the best facilities.

IHRA has a Nitro-Jam and 4 Pro-Ams in Florida though....just food for thought.
The last Pro-am I was at (2008) in Immokalee, FL had two Pro-Ams and Sportsnational all in one weekend. I think there were less than 24 cars in Stock or S/Stock.
Payouts are about the same as NHRA races but a lot less sitting around.

...and what exactly are we supposed to do between March 8 and Sept 10? 6 months of big fat nothing.
How depressing :confused:

Re: 2010 div 2 sched
 

As I understand it Bristol didn't want the alky cars there so no Points race and I thought NHRA would replace the SG race but seems to have just dropped a race. All those Fla races are a pain if you work for a living but after all the director lives there.

Re: 2010 div 2 sched
 

Uhhhhhhh....

Lots of 10.90 action......
Don't be depressed. Just let Ed depress the brake button.

Re: 2010 div 2 sched
 

hey dan, you guys have a list of dates yet?

Re: 2010 div 2 sched
 

Have to love how NHRA looks out for the sportsman racers.... Putting threer aces in four weeks with the entry fees soo damn high...going to be an expensive begining of the year ...



I know it has been this way for some time, but you would think that withthe economy the way it is and car counts dropping faster than ..... well anything I can think of.... You would think they coudl space them out a little better instead three of the five right on top of each other then everyone sits around doing squat till the fourth race then there is a month break till the last one... I love living in Florida but the divisional schedule for down here sux..

Re: 2010 div 2 sched
 

I would think that you would be thrilled living that close to the races , we're up here in So Carolina and most of the div2 guys are here,NC,Tenn and Ga we have to come all the way down there so I think you should be thrilled. I will conceed there are no NHRA 1/4 mile tracks in any of these states like Z Max, Bristol and Memphis is belly up. I'm being sarcastic SGMSP won't have any more and Atlanta is right after Indy so if you need grade points like I do and some of my friends then off to Fla in Feb or not go to Charlotte and Bristol. In this economy with the low Natl event car counts they should count Natl events as grade points or drop the price.

Re: 2010 div 2 sched
 

Tom: YES I am thrilled they are at least close to me.. but the costs for the average racer to attend three divisional races inside of 4 weeks is a bit much... I have saved some $$$ from last year so I can do it this year, because I too am in NEED of grade points. It has been many years since I raced NHRA national or divisional races, so its like starting all over again...

I just would like to see a little more racing throughout the year instead of all bunched together then months of nothing....

That and the fact that Div 2 is now back to only 5 races no div opens, nothing... see where other divisions have like 7 races and opens....

Re: 2010 div 2 sched
 

When you think about it you'll realize that only down here can you run all the NHRA races in the area usually without missing many of your local bracket points races. In most areas you have to choose early in the year between running for an NHRA division and Wallys or running for a track championship. Also, you can set the car up for throttle stop racing (in my case), do your month-long tour, then quit if you don't do well and put the bracket race setup back in. In my view the schedule is actually the best of both worlds. You spend your money all at one time and either way, you can plan for the rest of the year.

Re: 2010 div 2 sched
 

That is one way to look at it... Either way I will find out this year as we are setting up for S/G.... should be fun with a small tire car...
