The short answer on the 2011 schedule is that the Las Vegas event could not follow Pomona due to the NASCAR event in Las Vegas. No question that going from Pomona to Gainesville to Las Vegas is not convienient, but there were virtually no other options.

While there are never any guarantees in regards to weather, it can get pretty cold (and wet) in Las Vegas in February.

While there may be some challenges geographically, next year's scheule appears much more "user friendly" than the 2010 version since we no longer have seven races in eight weeks during the summer and there are no more "four in a row" swings.

Also, other than possibly Don Schumacher, no one has more vehicles on the road than NHRA. When you count the Safety Safari, Tech, Registration and other support vehicles.

As for National Dragster, we're always seeking CONSTRUCTIVE input on how to make it better. We understand that people no longer turn to print publications to find out who won the race, so we have tried to improve in other areas.

In the last two years, we have gone to an all color format and includes numerous features that can't be found elsewhere.

Kevin,

As I said it's better then ever with the color and the page texture. What I would like to see is just what Monte said, the "lessor" races incluing more bracket coverage. Those racers are the "backbone" of the sport, says NHRA. Also the Even Smith tech stuff is really good, just need more of it. Even if just expands on what the current technical trends are with the racers. Lastly, you can't beat the Featured Flyer deal. But go back to the 2 or 3 car coverage from various classes per event rather then just one.
