Which nhra (regulars) teams are we going to see at maple grove?

I see a few already

- Reed
- Bode
- Lee

 

[Quesadilla]

Capps and Maddi just confirmed too

 

[James]

I just saw that. Wow!

 

[Ponyhntr]

More to come.

entry lists are growing, the fuel classes are worth 40k just to Q for the 8 car field.
only two Q shots at it too i believe. that's big pressure to lay down a number in Q1.

 

[Quesadilla]

Current entry lists for Top Fuel and Funny Car. I wonder with Capps entering what other NHRA Full Timers will enter.

Pedregon and Kalitta have raced IHRA in the past. The Torrences usually do their own thing, wouldn’t be surprised to see a Capco car or two. Millican won a gazillion times, does Rick Ware have the budget for him, Schumacher or both to go there?

I bet Capps and Maddie are getting appearance money too.

They all are if they meet the requirements for the $10k promoter bonus.

I wonder if Capps or any other NHRA car will be running their NHRA sponsor or a car in white ??

This could be really exciting 20 cars for an 8 car field..............

If enough of the NHRA regulars show up, there could easily be a scenario where none of the IHRA regulars qualify.

I think the track prep will level the playing field or even favor lower HP

 

[Paul]

Is the track prep that much different? Obviously we don't know the traction compound mixture, but they sure as hell run the tractors to prep the track more than the NHRA.

Del Worsham! Going to be fun to watch.

Can't really say but the two events I attended it seemed to be less sticky if that makes sense ??

I would assume Napa/ Carlyle since the Capps team announcement featured both. Unless someone picks up a sponsor I imagine they’ll run the same sponsor in the IHRA races much like they did during the Pro Superstar Shootout
