Can anyone confirm at the Oct 24-25 Jegs Sports Nationals event in Vegas, class eliminations will be run?

Things change but I thought NHRA would not run a National event with no spectators.

With the Coke deal going south they might pull the plug yet but keep in mind with the dramatic cuts in the Pro purse the 300 plus sportsman entries can cover the purses. Imagine Bruton will have input but the Sportsnationals and the D7 Division race will draw huge fields that will undoubtedly make the track money.

LVMS is an expensive track to operate.
They can not make money without spectators.
I would not be surprised to seen them cancelled everything
if no spectators by then OR at least the Nationals at
a minimum.

It would destroy our points and entry Stats for this
year = AND will not have grade points to race Nationals
next year.

Rumor floating around Gainesville this weekend is if Las Vegas doesn't happen the Finals will be moved to FLA.

I think a lot of the races like WCHRA (and divisional races) at Vegas don't really have many spectators, so I think they can make $ with no spectators for the smaller non-Nationals events.
