Why?
 

Why would an organization have three races together that would canabilize each of them? I'm talking about the National event in Charlotte, the Sports Nationals in Columbus, and the divisional race in Shreveport. I realize the Shreveport race is a stretch but Columbus and Charlotte would draw a lot of the same cars.

Because they can.........................

Add to that the Goodguys race in Bowling Green. Another fan drain.

Re: Why?
 

There are just too many races! IMHO, NHRA needs to cut it's number of National Events by at least 1/3 and preferably by 1/2. That would shift more importance to the Divisional level and make National Events into something special again.

I agree with Billy so many races and organizations it doesn't leave any room to avoid having races conflicting each other.

x2 with Billy on big race reduction...just too many choices on places to race today.

Wasn't always this way...remember the old days?

Maybe it's good (in a way)....BUT......

Did that with Brainerd and Joliet div races

Re: Why?
 

Never thought I would see there be "too many" races to pick from.

Good problem to have, IMO, considering what the flip side could be.

It does create a bit of problem with all the races stacked on top of each other tho.

Gotta pick and choose the most important ones first.

Re: Why?
 

As long as they're making money, I don't think they'll cut any out.
And I imagine they're not worried about any Sportsman schedule conflict.

It real simple
52 weekends a year

26 national events a year counting sports Nats
50 plus points races a year

This gives us total of 75 plus races. 50% of the country only has 26 or so weekends to race a year because of things like snow and cold weather. So 5-10 weekends a season are going to have 3 or more NHRA races on them.
