North American Nationals date change?

[mopain]

Today at New England Dragway they announced that they will have a big announcement, concerning the North American Nationals, on their website in the next few days.
The race has always been run the week after Indy in September. Last month IHRA and NED announced it would be moving to July 20-22. Word has it that the pending announcement has to do with the July date being changed. To when? They didn't say.

It's been moved to the week before the NHRA national event at Maple Grove.

That would put it head-to-head with Brainerd.

Front page of New England Dragway website confirms the date change to August 10-12, same weekend as Brainerd and just one week after Martin.
