NHRA Divisions? (1 Viewer)

[Bruno]

Why is Illinois listed as division 3 (which i thought it always was) and division 5? And why is Colorado listed as division 5 (as it always was) and division 7?? When and why did this change?

i think the track in grand junction runs under D7, while bandimere was always D5, and would assume
they will be D5 again when new track is open.

last year (2025) right around this time, worldwide raceway hosted a D5 double D.
just this last weekend (2026), worldwide raceway hosted a D3 divisional.
i think illinois is listed as possible host for D3 and D5 because of st. louis? i'm not really sure.
now with SRCA coming back in great bend, KS, and potentially bandimere in next few years, plus flying H,
brainerd, and tri-state, i wonder if nhra will ever feel the need to go to st. louis again for D5 race?
