Well I concur this sucks. We were actually planning on making the Norwalk race this year. It finally fell on a different weekend than the NMCA race in Chicago, was actually the week before so we were coming already had the rooms booked.

That sucks.
I initially thought maybe SMP shuffled stuff around for maybe other events with better spectator support, but looks like NHRA won’t be holding an event there this year either. Crazy year.

NHRA national event has been slotted for the Monster Mopar weekend. Doug The recent NHRA announcement states no racing until August, with fans, unless significant changes due to the pandemic. I’d bet they’ll try to get the Western swing in then skip Brainerd, MN then hit INDY. They certainly have been vague on plans.

I kind of figured this would happen with all the other stuff postponed or canceled. I love this event because I get to see old friends and have a nice weekend party with racing . Be nice if they could move it to September for this year but it is quite the event to just throw together Gus They picked up the bracket finals this year and it bumped the no prep race a week later. Their schedule is pretty jam packed.
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27

just received this revised email from NHRA NHRA ANNOUNCES REVISED PLAN TO RESTART 2020 MELLO YELLO DRAG RACING SERIES NHRA officials announced today that they are working with state and local officials as well as host tracks and teams on a revised Mello Yello Drag Racing Series schedule, which will be announced soon. The season is expected to resume, with fans in attendance, in August and will consist of 18 total events for 2020, including the two that kicked off the season. The Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series will continue to be contested at each Mello Yello Series event. The revised schedule previously announced is in flux because of the fluid nature of the pandemic situation. At this time, it is certain that the events planned for June and July are postponed. Those events are the AMALIE Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals on June 5-7 (Gainesville, FL); Mopar Express Lane NHRA SpringNationals Presented by Pennzoil on June 12-14 (Houston, TX); NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals on June 19-21 (Bristol, TN); Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals on June 26-28 (Norwalk, OH); Route 66 NHRA Nationals on July 9-12 (Chicago, IL); Dodge Mile-High NHRA Nationals Presented By Pennzoil on July 17-19 (Denver, CO); and NHRA Sonoma Nationals on July 24-26 (Sonoma, CA).

NHRA national event has been slotted for the Monster Mopar weekend. Doug I do not believe that is true. In fact Norwalk may not even get the NHRA race this year.

From what I have seen... it is not true. No nationals until August. Norwalk is not on the revised schedule at all that is listed on classracer. For the folks saying no lucas oil races, where are you getting that from the announcement? It specifically states Mello Yello races. I read this as NHRA needs fans in the stands to pull off those races. So they are postponed until that can happen.

March 25th. I hope they do. But I don’t think the NHRA could be any more vague.
