Cut and Pasted from the NHRA Pacific Division website. If they stick with this plan, no way they finish the divisional on time! Extended forcast is for showers on Saturday. I'll bet right now that the 1 time run at friday, and MAYBE 1 on Saturday are all the divisional competitors get.


Final eliminations for all NHRA Sportsman competitors in the NHRA Arizona Nationals will be completed this Friday in conjunction with the Division 7 Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event scheduled at Firebird International Raceway Feb. 26-28.

Competitors in the six classes being contested for the Arizona Nationals will get one time trial beginning at 8 a.m. and go straight into eliminations from there. The run Friday will count for qualifying toward the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event and all cars entered into the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event will be eligible to make the run Friday morning. All competitors in all classes for the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series will only have one run allotted on Friday.

Stock and Super Stock eliminations for the Arizona Nationals will be random-paired for the first round and laddered second round based on furthest under the index runs during first-round eliminations. Competitors in Top Dragster and Super Street had already been paired and will remain with those pairing as eliminations are already underway. Super Gas had already completed first round and laddered second-round pairings will be retained for the completion.

In addition to the six classes being contested for Arizona Nationals eliminations, Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Comp, Top Sportsman, and Sportsman Motorcycle competitors will have a single qualifying session on Friday. All 11 classes will receive two qualifying sessions on Saturday and Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series eliminations will be run in their entirety on Sunday.

Torredcuda,
Those kinds of capital improvements will bankrupt more than a few tracks. Do a search on Memphis...
