Paul, where did you see this?

Sonoma in November should be fast.

I was thinking the same thing. Wowza!!

If they allow it, I sure hope so. Hopefully this season well allow zero time for rule mods.

Thanks Paul.

In the Kalitta article on Competition Plus Head said they do not have the parts to finish the season. Granted there are three months to get it together but I think it's going to be real hard to have all the parts they need to go 16 weeks in a row. That schedule is going to be real hard on the teams as you are going to be gone for 4 months, they are going to be worn out half way through. Everything except the US Nationals is a 2 day event, better hope it doesn't rain.

Paul, where did you get this? I can't find it anywhere.

 

[stitcherbob]

Are they going to rename it the "Cluster***k To The Championship"?

 

[Rat]

It would be nice if the NHRA actually confirmed anything being 2-day events, and even Sonoma in November.

Wow, what a grind.

And everyone always said the western swing was a grind. I just cannot realistically see 16 consecutive weeks happening.

Someone posted it on Facebook, I have been able to confirm a number of those dates, but not all of them.

If we have another outbreak in the fall Finals may be Vegas. All this will depend on local conditions. I feel like there will be some dropouts before its over.

I generally am on the positive side on things but no one has talked about the financial end of all of this. Are the sponsors and crews going to hang around. I personally think NHRA is in panic mode. We'll see what they do with Licas Oil Sportsman Racing now the back bone of organization if they shut them down till August NHRA Racing will be done for the year.

 

[Gone Dead Train]

They declined.

If the schedule is rite. Bader just lost most of his nitro teams for the Night Under Fire Aug 8th (Read Denver) Ouch!
You all know Force is the reason people go to that race! It will be interesting what Bader has to say what his reasoning is?

Who knows if things will change in June or July. 16 races straight is a crazy schedule even for the bigger teams, what about the teams with volunteers? I wonder how many will not run the entire schedule or just even sit out till next year.

 

[BaldyLochs]

What the hell are the pro teams going to do? Ship all their crap and replenishing supplies as needed each week? Those trucks will be on the road a lot with no breaks. The fly in guys have an advantage. You need more parts and pieces and there’s no downtime at all. Or have roving chase vehicles making strategic runs and drop offs from the home shop at certain points? Set up strategic storage spaces at points around the country? Tip of the hat to the truckers when this is all over. This is like a major rock band going on tour. That’s one hell of a schedule

 

[nwspeedshots]

I've gotten pretty used to the fairly light attendance in Seattle. Sorta nice not to be packed in sardine-style like back in the nineties. I suspect things will be different this year, one way or another.

 

[AC]

What about engine suppliers? Some teams lease engines, if you do not have a backup how can you make the next race?

 

[stitcherbob]

Newsflash.....the decision has been made to add 4 wide tracks to any venue that wants a 2020 race on their schedule....and Las Vegas and Charlotte are looking into turning their tracks into 8 wide.....

Patrick, their new schedule shows all races except the US Nationals as 2 day events.
