We just really need to hope and pray for a dry spring here in the Northeast or it could get ugly. This is just the first few weeks of racing in D1 and the National Open schedule hasn't been finalized. I know some will say that we have Mid-Summer to fill in any delays but, that is the time now that the local series come to life, ECSSSA, ASRA, Mid Atlantic .90, NESSA and it's tough to grab a date once the track's schedule is completed....heck I had tracks calling me in Mid September for dates.

22nd to 24th – Houston National / Atco D1 /Silver Dollar (D2)
29th to 1st – Charlotte National / Galot Fling Race /Bowling Green PDRA

May
6th to 8th – Mother’s Day Weekend (No Racing)
13th to 15th – Virginia National Event
20th to 22nd – Cecil D1 Race /Rockingham (D2)
27th to 29th – Lucas Oil Event at MG / PDRA Norwalk

June
3rd to 5th – New England Nationals / Norwalk D3
10th to 12th – Leb Valley Lucas
17th to 19th – Father’s Day (19th) /Bristol National

Looks like Div 7 is dead.

Topeka, end of July, that is hard on us old guys, 110 heat index. I do like great Bend in May.

So far only Phoenix and Vegas are on point for D7. Moreover, there's only 4 races here, and a TBD. What's going on with Tucson? Sonoma?

Gary, Tucson did not do well with the low car count. I’m not sure that they would want another divisional without some guarantee from NHRA.

That's no lie. Last week they had a couple of the street burners from TV ...Farm Truck and AJO ? A HO?...I'm sure the place was packed.
A couple of years ago they had street burner # 2 ..Lil Daddy or Daddy Dan or something. We were there for a bracket race during the day .No spectators of course. As soon as it was over , the crowd started pouring in for the TV guys..It was huge!

They know what side of the bread the butter's on..Can't blame them .Without 500-600 cars the NHRA stuff is a loser. Better face reality in 2022, guys.

That's a bummer, but I am not too surprised. I wasn't originally planning on going to Tucson either given the somewhat yo yo effect of Phoenix to Vegas, to Tucson, and back to Vegas (especially after my only winning one round of one race this year). I (unlike many others), changed my mind and showed up. My budget may have thought it was a waist of money, but it was a semi-home race, and it gave me one extra race to enjoy running #78 on my car.

We only have four races on our schedule thus far, so it'll be interesting who'll step up for the other 1-3(?) races next year. I feel better about LVMS than either Tucson or Sonoma.

I wish we still had RMR!!!

This makes me wish their points race would've been scheduled the weekend prior to the Vegas national event, instead of after the Vegas doubleheader. Why? They could've used the prior wknd., to snare racer's from the east-southeast area enroute to Vegas.
