No, like Darr said, the new management at LVMS seem to have no interest in the Heritage Series or the like.

It will be interesting to see what becomes of the Heritage Series.

I don't like to see any race series go away.

Hope it stays alive.

NHRA does little to promote the Heritage Series, they are focused on the cash-cows of the Three Reunions, they sure do not need the drag racing part. Other than the Reunions, NHRA has never figured out why we do this kind of racing and have been unable to "monetize" Heritage racing.

Most racetracks have renegotiated their "fee" down in order to hold an NHRA Heritage event. Results in National Dragster are slow and ads are not effective.

Don't be surprised if another Reunion gets added to Gainesville and maybe one to Atlanta in the future.

The car counts last year at Vegas, speedworld were low. The count at Sacramento was a little better. I know I heard Blake say he wouldn't host the 2nd Bakersfield race again. And it's not on their schedule.

Does anyone know if there will there be a Funny Car Fever race or is this event just exhibition runs?

 

[The Little Lizard]

The saturday night nitro portion of the nhra heritage series event july 13, 2013 at sacramento raceway seems to feature in addition to category 1 & 2 competition nitro aa/fuel dragsters & funny cars-unknown if n/tf & nf/c will be simply exhibition or series points earning?

 

[Raconteur]

It would be nice if the Suits @ NHRA got off their asses and published an Official Schedule for 2013.
