CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Moving a Div 5 race to a different division

I don't expect this to be commonplace among other NHRA Divisions, but Division 5 currently has a race track availability catastrophe on their hands.

Bandimere is gone and it is hard to tell when their new endeavor will be up and going, let alone finished and ready for events; with out any kind of divine intervention, Heartland Park has finally been lost forever and SRCA Dragstrip is still in legal limbo due to the botched resurfacing project. Rumor has it that Flying H and NHRA have fallen out of love quickly and there won't be a return of NHRA events for the foreseeable future...therefore resulting in a Division 5/Division 3 hybrid track in WWT Raceway.

None of this is ideal, but unfortunately this seems to be what the future large scale drag racing is destined to and NHRA seems to be happy to sit back an watch it unfold without much intervention.

I know there are a lot of people that like to tout the strength of drag racing nationally, but aside from a handful of special events, I am failing to see it.
