Tucson?

Bill Koski · 01-07-2011, 12:19 PM

Tucson is off of the D-7 schedule, will there only be 5 divisionals in D-7?
IHRA hasn't claimed tucson yet?

Mar 25-26 Tucson, AZ

Nitro Jam

Mark Yacavone · 01-07-2011, 12:40 PM

Word is that Bernie (Longjohn, the new manager ) never did like that date for the LODRS.

We ( Southwest Drags) had originally wanted to do a "class nationals" type event on that date. When I mentioned it here, there was NO (0) response to that idea.
Now that the date appears to be open again, I'll see what I can find out.

The Nitro Jam was being promoted by an independent outfit as an " IHRA style" event
The big question is whether an NHRA sanctioned track would allow it to happen.
Stay tuned....

The word on the street is a switch to IHRA ?

It's not up on nhra.com yet, but Chris Blair posted on FB yesterday that there was going to be an additional LODRS event at Las Vegas the week before the spring national event.

Here is the exact post by Chris:
