Re: Just announced from NHRA Sport Compact... (Supernatural)
Glad to see it finally announced! Thank you NHRA for finally doing this, I know that myself and the other sportsman guys are super excited.
Will you guys put up a sign up and region break down on the website? I am curious to see where everyone will fall as far as east or west.

Re: Just announced from NHRA Sport Compact... (DBigman)
That is soooo cool. Even without a purse (although money is always nice 
). I always try to get to as many west coast races as I can, but this might get me out to Bandimere as well. Division 7 here I come! Time to go get that physical, renew my NHRA membership, and get the cage certified.
