Any Speculation on “Big News” Thursday?
 
I’ll go…
NHRA announces new callout format for Pro’s during Qualifying sessions

Probably announcing the new title sponsor
was told by official they were moving to indy, maybe that...
Or maybe they decided to fix nationals and make divisionals great again by eliminating stock, super stock, and all the .90 classes and replace them with street outlaws, electric vehicles and jr dragsters!

Wally Parks comes back as Chairman via Artificial Intelligence.

IRP is going to get a big make over including tearing down the tower and moving the entrance to the west side which will be the new Pro pits. Sportsmen pits will probably be all the way to the north or on the east side. My second guess would be the Pros are getting a pay increase and the Sportsmen are getting nothing. LOL

Hopefully, moving to Indy.

Or, Pros get the increase and the sportsman are paying for it!

Whatever the news is, I'd be surprised if it does anything to affect sportsman racers in a good way, if anyway at all. But you never know, until Thursday.

Charles Stewart 12-06-2023 10:10 AM

Re: Any Speculation on “Big News” Thursday?
 
2024 June 21-23 and July 12-14 new National event tracks location.

Sorry, the June 21-23 event will stand at the Virginia Motorsport Park

The France Family (NASCAR) and Tony Stewart will take over control and operations of NHRA PRO series events effective with the 2025 season. The Sportsman Series (LODRS) will continue to be operated by a downsized NHRA.

There was actually a similar agreement between The NHRA and HD Partners back in 2007 but the stockholders shot it down!

The Big News is Leah is steeping out of the seat and Tony Stewart is running TF in 2024....just made the announcement

What a disappointment, so much hype and it doesn't affect any of "us". What a crock of SHyT !

Pro Stock Truck coming back.

Whoever coined this "One of the biggest announcements in NHRA history" should be fired on the spot.

A bigger piece of news is that the "Dirty Mo" Mooresville is no longer an NHRA track. Sad news indeed.

Re: Any Speculation on “Big News” Thursday?
 
Force's recent talks about an "exit strategy" must've made NHRA nervous. They've found a new golden goose to hitch their wagons to and they're making a big deal about it.

rboyle 12-07-2023 01:15 PM

Re: Any Speculation on “Big News” Thursday?
 
Wow! Shocking news for sure! Lol! Only thing that would have been bigger is if Taylor Swift started dating Matt Hagen.
Sorry for taking the bait on that troll job by NHRA

Major NHRA sponsor , so doubt they had much choice here.
I knew those false eyelashes were killing Leah's RT,s
So what's she going to drive now?

bigshow2966 12-07-2023 05:15 PM

Re: Any Speculation on “Big News” Thursday?
 
Supposedly she and Tony are starting a family.

Keith 944 12-07-2023 05:54 PM

Re: Any Speculation on “Big News” Thursday?
 
I would bet she’s already pregnant

She said no because she is still going to drive in Fla at the big Pro Shootout race but, they will try shortly after

I mean if there was big news for sportsman racers - Thanks to Laris Insurance the Cajun NHRA Sportsnationals are back at No Problem Raceway the weekend after the Gators, so you can mark your calendars for that which is March 15-17.

I can't believe that was the "Big Announcement", how lame.....who gives a s--t. At least the PDRA had some real news, they secured Red Line Oil as their series sponsor.

The real question is,,,,,,Will there be a SWAMP TOUR ????

Quote from the Captain of the tour boat, " My name is Black, your captain, and I am going to pull out my guitar and sing a couple tunes , sorry if you don't like my music, you can leave if you wish." ( we are in the middle of the swamp and just fed the gators)

Jeff, I hope you are listening and wish to let you know, that tour was one of the highlights of my 50 years of racing
