I don't get it, Charlotte had a really good car count this year and was scheduled perfect just before the national. Glad to have what we do, but it's back to spending Feb./Mar. in Florida if you want to chase points. It is what it is as they say!

What a waste of effort !!

That track is so far off the D7 location and it gets 2 LODRS races. It's high (in altitude), dusty and a long way to travel for most, it's just not a favorable place to go to! (even rained there this year with big delays)

I don't get it, there are a few other tracks that are centrally located that could handle a double and I reckon they would get a better car count.

Promote the double back to Bakersfield for instance! I know the track owner is stubborn but negotiate it !

Most don't know this but Pomona has two available weekends for Drag Racing ( RULES and LAWS) that they don't use, ---- the local City Ordinance allows it. Problem is there is no personnel or administration to handle a single LODRS let alone a double that's needed to work an event. Sure would be good for Div 7, it wouldn't get any better than that HUH.

Got me one EDIT in per Fletchburger too !! HE!

That's right tracy the doubles helped on cost when you could leave your stuff but now it will just cost us more as usual?

North Central Division - Aug 4th - Byron Dragway

Looks like the D1 Maple Grove race is same weekend as Big Joe/Tim Hebert Hemi Chootout at the BG Sports Nationals. Just as well as those D1 hemi cars "ain't got nuttin" to run with these D4 guys. Six more months to talk smack and look for head rails. Spacer Cadet


PS That 161 (top mph for the year) in the wind last week was a wild ride!!!

[Dave Casey]

It stinks that the only Sportsnationals has been scheduled on the same date as the Maple Grove pts race that has used that date forever. Both are very important events, D1 gets the short end of the stick here. To the powers that be, can't you find a better way ?

If this turns out to be correct, there aren't very many name brand motels that are close to the track, just wanted to make Div 3 people who need one aware of this now. Nearest good sized city with lots of motels is around Rockford IL.

Bernie,

If the moron that runs Division 7 got his act together we wouldn't need doubles..................

What happened to Bakersfield, Tucson and Sacramento??????????
