I lost the clutch in my C/SM Camaro first round. Should have stayed home. :-)

Damn...you lost a clutch and I lost the class final. I still had fun and only class winners ran the eliminator on Sunday back then.

Perfect location for the 2nd US Class Nationals - probably should hold it the same weekend as Indy! LOL

That weekend would be finacial suicide. Maybe the weekend before the NHRA points race. The racers on the way to Indy could leave their rigs there then race the points race and go on to Indy ! Of course thats about a month off work for most. IF it happens.

Not likely.

But here's a good place for a real huge 3-4 day big money class race: Memphis.

Either in the spring, or the fall, when the weather is not miserable.

Decent centralized location, national event sized and capable facility.

Not an NHRA track, so NHRA can't pressure them.

I heard Memphis, PaLm Beach, and Imokolee (sp?) all 3 have just been sold (rumor yet to be proven) to the Arab dragster and funny car bill payer. They will probably all 3 go back to NHRA now after the IHRA race this month and next. Anyone know if its true????.

The people who own PBIR purchased Memphis at auction.

Immokalee has apparently been sold. IHRA race is on.
