I agree with your assessment, losing the Division race the weekend before the National Event seems to have made it less attractive to those that have to travel longer distances. However, the National Event definitely packs in a large crowd. |

Is it maybe time to look into restructuring the division locations? I think D1, 2 & 3 would be okay but, maybe 4 to 7 needs to restructure the location to include more tracks? Maybe expand to 8 Divisions and drop the blocker from the All Stars? I mean D4 has lost Houston and actually ONLY has 8 total tracks under NHRA sanctioned right now, D5 is losing Denver and who knows what is going on with SRCA but, the Rock Falls place looks pretty nice from the pics I saw, D6 is always a shot In the dark with Mission and if Seattle will survive cause there is always rumblings of them both closing, D7 with WHP, Sacramento closing and Sonoma cutting back leaves with maybe pushing to get a Div at Pomona or Tucson?
This is all food for thought |

It might be good to combine 6/7? More options??
John. I think if they did more race promotion like they used to they could draw more spectators and more racers. Sacramento and Boise don’t have any problems getting spectators…🤷*♂️ Tracks can’t complain about not making money if they don’t promote the race . Division 7 Sportsman racing has taken a pretty big hit. |

Jody or Tony Janes may have the Answer, but I think it was to help D6 get more car count at Woodburn and Medford at that time we had plenty D7 tracks. I just know it happened and I don't remember much complaining.

The crazy thing is the tow operations. They used to flat tow and tow with much less favorable tow operations

I think it may have been a bit later than that. I have had my same Div. 6 NHRA permanent number since the late 70s, but for 2 years or so, maybe 83-84, or possibly 84-85, I had to use a different number, as somebody from the "old div.7" got my number, but after NHRA went back to 7 divisions, I was able to get my old number back. I think the massive Div 6, that combined both Div. 6 and 7 only lasted 2 or 3 years. It must have been a real pain for the guys chasing points back then, that lived in the Western Canada or Washington state, as you would have to travel thousands of miles to hit all the points meets. It would have been similar if Div. 1 and 2 were combined into a single division, with points meets spread out from Epping to West Palm Beach FLA.

There is a limited test and tune going on this weekend. Of course it's about 5000' air. Apparently, there has been a lot going on behind the scenes. I'll wait for the official announcements , but it looks like there are no earth movers coming over the hill, just yet ;-)
