Fontana Closed.

Most of you know. Fontana drag racing is gone but they still have Nascar.
We need to write more letters and emails to NHRA in support of a double race in Bakersfield. We don’t have a Sonoma race yet either. Only four divisional’s here so far.

I would like to see D7 Director Mike Rice make a statement about the schedule.

Hi Don.
I have lots of family there and friends too. It’s just not happening right now. It’s getting very difficult and expensive to race here. Hoping we get Sonoma (double ?) and possible Bakersfield. Otherwise it’s out of state and the I 5 trailer and car killer. Would be really nice to see some input here from NHRA.

Sacramento should also be a consideration for a division race, preferably in April or early May before it gets to hot.

Bakersfield ain't going to happen.They don't need the NHRA to have a profitable schedule. They are doing fine with the March Meet, the Reunion and the ANRA series with some bracket races thrown in.

Is NHRA pricing themselves out of business?
