any one here of a new date for this Pomona event for the bracket racers?

 

i heard. it's complete crap. they knew most of the racers would already be set up and registered for Palmdale..... WTF is that about......

 

when is it?

 

I herd it was this weekend.

 

WTF ?????? can anyone confirm?

I get no response from J.Skelly from email or phone message....... ?????

 

i'll call today and see.

 

yep, best thing to do is call and find out. or check the website

 

already checked the website, couldn't find anything

 

I would like to know too-or just give me my $60 back.

 

My sources tell me that NHRA is working with the Fairplex to schedule a date for an ET Bracket race. It will be the completion of the Finals, with Wallys, winner's circle, etc. Securing a date is very difficult, due to the overwhelming number of activities taking place at the facility that render the dragstrip unuseable; swap meets, sheriff's driving schools, computer fairs, citizenship ceremonies, etc. The dragstrip pits are utilized for these types of events. For that reason, as well as curfew and daylight issues, the event may not happen until after January 1. But adequate notice will be given, both on the website and by letter to each competitor. After the date has been announced, if you are unable to attend, you may apply to NHRA for a refund. Stay tuned, they are working as hard as possible to make this happen at Pomona.

 

Are they just going to limit it to the people who were there and no new entries.

 

Mr. Skelly:
The turnout for the NHRA finals for the bracket racers was pretty good and does justify a properly planned rescheduled event at POMONA. But time passes by and I am sure not 100% of those racers who were there that weekend for the ET classes, are going to be able to attend. I'd like to suggest having an open event for ET racing. No time trials or exhibition passes should be allowed for non-ET racers. For the respect of the Grassroots crowd, who have made up the majority of the success of this sport, I believe NHRA should give this group its full attention in this matter. An open Sport Compact event would be nice to increase the attendance and make this rescheduled date worth it for the track, concessions, and the officials working the track.

What Wil said (nicely put!).

 

My sources tell me that this will likely be an ET Bracket only event. No plans to make it into something else.
