the sleds are also on the schedule. becoming more and more interested the older i get. they really are amazing machines.
........ i wonder how many locations on tour have private homes the racers use when in town, and the home owners take off on a vacation?
gull lake across hwy from bir is full of multi-million dollars pads, high end resorts, dining, world class golf, and great fishing

according to phil b's article on nhra.com regarding most frequented nat. event venues, brainerd ties for 7th place with seattle with 42 nat. events.
if you look at what venues have continuously run a national event (omiting 2020), brainerd is now 4th oldest, behind gainesville, indy, and pomona.
vegas has more nat. events due to 2x annual, but only started in 2000. e-town is done, and bandimere is hopefully in limbo.
seattle and ennis' 42 each were not consecutive.
