It would help to know what the problem is. Is it the case that the track owner wants a Divisional race and the NHRA doesn't? Or is the the other way around?

I, for one, know squat about the business side of the tracks, but I have read on this and other forums that most tracks don't make any money on Divisional events, mainly since there aren't many (i.e., none) spectators. So I could see where the track might not want to hold a Div race and lose money, especially if there is some other event that they could hold and turn a profit by getting more butts in the seats.

However, if it is the case where our division director doesn't want to hold a race at a particular track then that is a major problem. It is inexcuseable to not hold an event at a centrally located, top notch facility that wants to have the race, especially when there are no divisional races from early March until mid-September.

If this is the case, then as NHRA "members", we should be pounding the division and national offices with firm but polite requests for a sixth race.
