Re: Fontana divisional rumor
The schedule is posted on the Division 7 page on NHRA Racer. Sorry Mike, no discount for this shortened divisional.

Re: Fontana divisional rumor
More money for Nhra more money for the track Nhra saves money on personal and it cost the racers more money per run, if you don't like it let them know, they will tell you it saves the racer money, but really how many show up Saturday for a division race. I can think of about a dozen out of a few hundred.

Re: Fontana divisional rumor
It will save me money. Minus 2 entries at $170. Minus 700 miles at $3.09 a gallon. Minus $200 for the lead after the Tues hp hit for the 302.
I think I will spend my entertainment dollars elsewhere that weekend. Last edited by Mike Graham; 05-10-2018 at 07:25 AM. |

Re: Fontana divisional rumor
For non-retired folks like me it is another days pay.
I think the $100 TnT fee is a little steep but since Andy can't go I need the seat time. We are one of the dozen or so you mention because of work commitments. Ron

Mike, I am not sure I understand the logic here. You will get the same amount of time runs and the purse will remain the same. Will not running Friday save NHRA a little bit of money? Yes, I'm sure it will. But it will also save a lot of the working class racers money because it is one more day they can stay home and work, and one less night in a hotel. I personally think that supporting all of these events is important. You not showing up because you do not get to "hang out" at the track for that extra day does nothing to help our sport. I believe the majority appreciates the condensed schedule especially because we end up with the same amount of runs. I also believe we need to get used to it as this is the first of 4 divisionals here in division 7 that will be two day races. Sonoma is also going to a two day schedule with a test n tune on Friday and the Salt Lake Divisional is two, two day divisionals combined. Thanks, Justin Lamb |
