No P2, winter break, G-ville, 2 weeks, Phoenix then ANOTHER 2 weeks before heading east... LET'S GO, ALREADY!!!

Yes, ever since the covid changed all the dates winter here in the Midwest last 9 months.
Let's go to Pomona the 1 weekend of February and get the racing started. Lol

used to be a texas race around this time (april/may) .......less races / bigger breaks.
agreed. 3 week breaks suck.

SuperBowl is 2/14, Daytona is 2/21. Our best start time would be 2/28 for Pomona, followed immediately by Phoenix, a 1-2 punch, though

There was a a great event for years April 5th ish. Then the NHRA decided not to do that this year, which is funny because the rigs are all out west already. A bunch of the team rigs stayed parked at Firebird and are going to Pomona this week. It would’ve been a lot cooler if they just went up the hill to Las Vegas.

They are giving Procks some extra time to figure it out

Could also be that tomorrow is Easter, which changes every year. Perhaps if it was, say last weekend, then there might be something this weekend. Who knows.

Speaking of which, an early Happy Easter to all on here!

if you run 20 races from march thru october, you essentially have 35 weeks.
20 weekends on, and 15 weekends off. IMO keep the start in early march, and wrap it up over halloween weekend.
start it in FL and end it in Pomona, at least as long as in-n-out has title rights.
hopefully bandimere will bring total to 21, and maybe 22 again if economy is right.

Tomorrow is the 7th anniversary of the most drag racing I ever missed, being in the hospital unconscious, so it does seem like it’s dragging on getting underway….
