being at VMP for the world finals brought back eerie memories of 2006 IHRA World Finals at Norwalk.
When the red carpet is rolled out and the car count is up, you could almost smell change in the air around vmp.

I was told by Jim Collins the NHRA Div.2 Tech Director that Virginia Motorsports Park would be an NHRA Div. One track in 2012 and will have a Div. One points race.

Wow, and to think IHRA just had their World Finals just 2wknds ago, and then this pops up in less than a week afterwards....kind of sounds like a slap in the face to IHRA from VMP to me....

Gary,
No slap IHRA was moving to Memphis anyway.

Has anyone heard when a 2012 schedule will be posted by IHRA? The silence is deafening!

Hopefully IHRA doesn't drag their feet like last year with the schedule. I know the NHRA Divisional schedules usually come out in mid-november but, last years IHRA National Event Schedule didn't really come out till like December and the Divisional Schedule in January / Feb.

I think they have to wait till VMP get's done their 2011 schedule for NHRA to announce anything or whenever the "official" contract is done. If everyone remembers from last year VMP was going to come over to NHRA then but, IHRA still had them under contract and wouldn't let them out of it. Time to start the WAIT & SEE process

There's more to it. This move has been brewing for more than a year.

Didn't I hear that the Dutch is going to be a week earlier next year because of a special date...? 50 th .... That may help, the conflict in 2012 .... But I agree with Bryan , there can be better planning ......

The Dutch was moved up a week this year from the past few years. The Keystones are Oct 4th to 7th next year so they can't move it up any more.
