I was wondering if the schedule is correct or a misprint.

If this is true, that is sure going to leave a mark on car counts

I believe both are doubles Sat/Sun
Probably a misprint

I hope so.

Was hoping to see Redding get a N.O too??
Huge improvements at the track , parking and race surface.

Sacramento Raceway Park website shows Friday test n tune, Saturday qualifying and Sunday eliminations. Super disappointing to not have a double race. If it wasn't just 1.5 hours from my house, not sure it would be worth the effort, but the weather forecast is great 85, 78 and 80 degrees.

But why are they mixing the national open with a junior dragster double divisional? Why can't they be on different weekends? The juniors start running around 8:00 am and stock qualifying starts at 10:00 am. Don't they understand one of the most redeeming qualities of Sacramento Raceway is the great DA in the early morning? The prospect of fast, possibly record breaking time tickets for performance based classes/racers will draw more cars, and its a National Open, so no hit in the AHFS data base. As I sit here at 8:40 am, the Sacramento DA is 473, by 10:00 am it will likely be 1600. Heck, if they ran class on Friday, under these conditions, which we rare in Division 7 anymore, then a Double race Saturday and Sunday, I bet quite a few more cars would show up. Throw in a Racer BBQ/tear down party Friday evening under a shade structure and you got a fun event. Oh well, I guess I am just California dreamin.

I'm guessing the 4th race opportunity will be rescheduled. Being Bakersfield is already a double. I can't see an open happening there this year anyway.
