Pomona Classes ?

[FABMAN]

Can someone explain why they don't run all classes at world finals in Pomona.

Meaning Top Dragster and Top Sportsman? I guess I'm not sure why, this year, since they are now a national championship. Super Street doesn't run for a national title, so I could see them being the LODRS class rotated out for that event. All other classes are accounted for, according to the registration website.

Are they running Pro Stock Bike or Pro Mod don't think I saw them on there either.

The bikes will be in Pomona. Pro Mod runs their final National event in Vegas.

Thanks, Brian I just missed the bikes.

Sorry, Jesse, I wasn't considering Pro Mod, since they aren't technically part of the regular series.

I guess I missed some of it too, my thought was it's the last race of year with awards right after why wouldn't they run all classes. Just a thought.

Pomona's Pit space is VERY Limited...especially since they put in Preferred Parking.

Pit space is only one issue ...

• How could they fit all this racing in without reducing the number of TT's or qualifiers?
• Would need to run longer hours and Pomona is already handcuffed with curfews
• At that time of year it gets dark a lot earlier and cools off quickly, so safety comes into play

They already limit eligibility to attend the Finals based on points and grade points. It just isn't logistically feasible to add another 30 PM, 40 TD, and 40 TS cars and manage to complete the event in a timely fashion.

Plus, do they still have the Summit Series Finals as well?

Yes they do ... 8 per category and that's a big deal with Summit.

I know call it the Worlds Final invitational.

No, seriously this should be one of the biggest race of the year in my opinion look at the excitement it brought last year. My problem is I am a big sportsman fan maybe move it to a larger venue, I visited the track in 76 and there seem to be a lot of room guess it has changed since then.

I'm a big Sportsman fan as well. If I had my pick, I'd much rather go to the Vegas national and divisional events the two weeks before Pomona. So much national title drama plays out at these two races. I'd love to bookend a trip to the area someday doing this.
