Default Greatlakes dragaway FWD nationals

Does anybody know the dates for the FWD import nationals at Greatlakes dragaway this year? Trying to request the day off to make it this year. Tried searching on the track website but did not find anything. Thanks.

That was bullshit when that happened. I'm surprised non of those parts have surfaced yet. I just sent Freddy a text to try to get him to put out some info on the event. Dude has been super busy lately I know that.

Sorry about the delay! We are working with the track and featured racers to come out and set a date. The event looks like it won't be able to be held until the end of September or early October. Soon as the date is set, which should be by the end of next week we will get flyers made and dates posted everywhere.

Thank You Everyone for your Patience!

Is it going to be a 2 day event again? Hopefully you guys can figure out a date so I can figure out my schedule for work.

We were pushing for a two day event but according to the meetings we all had earlier this year with Freddy at speedquest and Armondo at illgarage, it was gonna be a one day event. The packet we received with open and payed invites was pretty impressive, I'm just hoping that setting a date this late in the season doesn't mean we won't see some people out because of prior plans they might have scheduled. If the set date is the 28-29, they're 3 big races the prior weekend.
