I was reading the rules for the Turbo Street class. 76mm is the max for us and 2700lbs min. which isn't bad. They now allow fuel cells which is a plus.

new rules are not out yet

Nothing in the mid-west. I still may make a long weekend out of an eastern track.

Well the 2007 season is over! :)

I just noticed that, doh...I doubt they'll change much though.

Looks like a good schedule with tracks that usually get really good turn outs. I think this could be the start of something good. I hope i am correct.

No Cali? I thought the west side would have the best turnout.

No West Coast events?
 

Oh well looks like all the West Coast Racers will have to head over to the East Coast if they want to compete in this Series. I highly doubt many of the local Southern California Racers will travel 1500-3000 miles.

Good Luck NOPI!!!!!

RE: No West Coast events?
 

We all know this was coming,west coast racers and fans kinda fell off over the years, look at the englishtown and atco races, fans and racers are really into import drag racing over there, well Im allot closer to the races here in dallas so I see no problem with the new schedule, once I get my car done that is.....there is always the U.F.O. series, 11 import races all really close by:)

[QUOTE=mannyvidal;7561351]I will.

Just one stop at MIR in 08 and its not even a NHRA sactioned event. Odd MIR seemed to be one of the strong markets.

Reason being, MIR isn't a NHRA track.

i heard that every body is waiting for the pri show
all rules will be released in orlando
