What’s Going To Happen In Div7

06-08-2022, 03:07 PM

What’s going to happen has already happened.
We got Bakersfield thank god! If not then the close race is Vegas (10-11 hours) for the Central/ Bay Area / Valley guys. Not to mention Division 6 guys..That’s quite the commute! Have ya driven speed bump I 5 lately?
My car will be done for Sonoma but do I want to support it given the hand we were dealt?
Probably not. My choice. I’m sure it will not make any difference.
Nothing said about 2023 div races yet .
Lost Wild Horse.
Lost Fontana.
Lost Sonoma this year. Next year??
No Sac divisional’s?
No Redding divisional’s? Huge improvements there. Is it big enough?

Raceless in California.

I think what is going in Redding is really a great thing, they have put a lot work into making it a great place to race.

I spoke with Jesse Adams today. They just purchased a new track prep tool ( row of slicks reversed on a new tractor ) from Bandimere.

Barry you know that if Bakersfield could somehow come alive and support the entire sport instead of just their nostalgia niche and a couple of rice rocket races to compliment their $300 TNT days, they would become the center of activity for the western US. The LA guys, or at least many of them will come over the hill for a good program and so will the Bay Area racers. Sacto is not really a viable option and Sonoma just doesn't seem to have their heart in it. Vegas is a tough haul for the northern group but an awesome place to race. We now find ourselves there at least 5 times per year even if we do no bracket racing.

I would love to see two 2day divisionals at Bakersfield.....which I know will never happen. That with the Vegas calendar and a couple out of division weekends(Woodburn, Seattle) should keep us busy enough to keep the rust off the cylinder walls. If Redding could somehow be pulled into the mix it would just be icing on the cake.

Mark,

If NHRA would back down on their charges a bit Bako might come on board more.
The track is a business and it isn't there just to support NHRA.
