Division 7 news

I see they raised winnings and entry fees. I guess I'm not the sharpest knife in the draw. Where do I find the schedule for the double header coming up in Phoenix? I sure hope it's not going to 110 degrees by then.

Update to Purse and Entry Fee Going For Remainder of 2021 and Beyond
The largest overall purse increase for the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series in D7 history is here! Beginning with the upcoming double-header at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in September. Basically every paying position has been increased with the new winner purse of $2,000 topping the list (up from $1200). The new entry fee for the LODRS events will be $200 (up from $170).

Here you go Paul, link to register is on the track’s website as well. Taking siesta 2-6 is one way to avoid heat exhaustion, going to be lots of generators doing overtime.

Really feel for my D-7 buds, you know it’s going to be hot as HADES when the track shuts down from 2 to 6 pm …..Thank the LORD it’s a dry heat in PHOENIX, weather history shows highs expected close to 100 degrees ….

Note: That pavement is still hot at 6 pm. In fact it's still hot at 10 pm.Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll park you in the bowl. ;-)

I always struggle getting to the lanes before my 440 is 130 degrees. We end up pitting 1/2 mile from the staging lanes. Then it's up hill the last 200'
waiting to pair up. I'm sure like last year. They will be all over you if don't have a mask on.

The average temperature for the weekend of the WHP divisional is 101. I don't know why they couldn't have at least scheduled it for May when they knew about the state fair situation when they did. Track schedules can be changed, look at Sonoma. That being said I don't see how with over 2000 Covid per day the Indians and CDC will allow it to happen and the same applies for Vegas and Pomona even though they are scheduled for later in the year. We'll see!

Gosh darn it as my Mom would say. I hate being a woose because of the heat. I got diagnosed this January with some medical problems and the pills and hot weather just don't mix well. You know me Rick I'm a pick up and an open trailer still. Last of my breed. The "Dime rocket" of towing.

I'll have to gives this some serious thought. And here I just put the stocker parts back into the Dart.
