Default Re: New Division Director for Div 2

My #1/2 suggestions are to either have a bonus race on Friday night, or to run a two-day schedule and finish on Saturday night. Currently it's a lot of time away from home for one race.
I agree. I've looked at attending some NHRA races this year, but the scheduling is ridiculous. I'm self-employed, and I'd still have a hard time making the time commitment required by some of these 4 and 5 day races. They did Englishtown in two days... it can be done! If they were on-track 1-2 days less, they would save on the added days of insurance, and could lower the entry fees (yah, right!). Let people pay for a test n' tune the day before if they need the additional track time. $170 for a Divisional race is insane, in my opinion.

don't forget montgomery which jumped to IHRA, simply because they got NO support from NHRA
...and the racers didn't support *them* this year. Jim Howard and crew really care about the racers and did an outstanding job with the event. He's willing to stick his neck out and do the event again next year. Please, racers, support them and put the Montgomery race on your schedule!
