Seasonal race monikers (2 Viewers)

As we prepare to start out the season in Gainesville again, I- one of the resident Old Farts- feel a twinge of something being "off".

If you were to put a current track to the event, where would you put the:

-WinterNationals
-SpringNationals
-SummerNationals
-FallNationals

The only restriction to your selection is that each race has to be held during the actual season (Jan-Mar; Mar-Jun; Jun-Sept; Sept-Nov/Dec)

BONUS QUESTION: World Finals: Same location every year? Mix it up every year? Or leave it in Pomona?

 

[J. S.]

The Winternationals should always be at Pomona, and it should always be the first race of the year in February. And the NHRA "World" Finals should also stay at Pomona.

Not sure about where/when the Spring/Summer/Fall Nationals should be, but I liked it when NHRA used those terms. You can still call your race the NHRA "Springnationals", and also have an all-important title sponsor to bring in some extra revenue.

winternationals - pomona
springnationals - chicago
summernationals - norwalk
fall nationals - ennis
northstar nationals - brainerd
golden gate nationals - sonoma
the other three races that don't have a good moniker are 4-wides (which could be considered descriptive enough),
arizona, and vegas

I wish they would put the Phoenix race back to Feb, after Pomona. Weather is always good in Feb, can run some great times. Phoenix in March is hot, kills the times. Look at Phoenix in 2025.

Well, the Winternats should be where there's still snow on the ground, so let's go with Brainerd. Or Norwalk. Colder the better.
The Springnationals should be in Pomona, or if there's bad weather go with Gainesville (it was always on my birthday ,which is close to spring).
The Fallnationals should be where there's peak fall foliage , so New Hampshire obviously...
The Summers were always perfect in NJ, so ....how can we get everybody squeezed into Island Dragway in Great Meadows?
