NHRA member tracks to host NHRA State Championships


The National Hot Rod Association has announced the formation of the NHRA State Championships, a special-event program for its member tracks and E.T. bracket racers beginning in the 2010 season. With member tracks across the country as well as in Canada and Puerto Rico, the program will recognize and award grassroots racers with a unique, specially designed NHRA State Championships Wally plaque.

Much like state high school athletic associations that conduct state championships in school sporting events, NHRA will designate and recognize one annual event per state that boasts NHRA member tracks as the official NHRA Drag Racing State Championships.

NHRA State Championships events will be held at Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds, Ga., Sept. 5; Coles County Dragway USA in Charleston, Ill., July 12; Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, Wis., July 17; and Kearney Raceway Park in Kearney, Neb., July 31-Aug. 1. Other states and provinces will be listed on the NHRA divisional Web sites and NHRA.com.

E.T. bracket categories that are part of the NHRA Summit Racing Series and a Jr. Dragster class contested in the state and NHRA geographic division will receive official NHRA State Championships designation.

The new program joins NHRA’s National DRAGSTER Challenge, NHRA Aerospace Components King of the Track, and NHRA Jr. Drag Racing League Challenge lineup of special events.

This was a team race that it looks like they apparantly piggy-backed this "special" race on. Wow...pretty expensive too....crew is $20.00 a day, spectators are $15.00 a day. Wonder what they are charging for car and driver.....

Sorry, we won't be able to make it. We committed to ANRA this year. (Now Butch....don't get any ideas and raise your prices! lol)

Looking for a good Jr car turn out for the ANRA Summer Nationals August 21 & 22.

I'll tell you what I know.
Sat.- Dylan Cowling ( California State Champion)
Sunday- 8-9 winner Page Pierce, Jason Horridge Runner -up, 13-14 Winner Justin Ball
Tanner had his first perfect light this weekend. He only raced Sat. because he left for camp on Sunday. Cade lost in the semi's on Sat. They are all warmed up for the ANRA race!

We run in Group III, so that's where I concentrate. The car count seemed pretty good to me. I would estimate 60-70 at least. I know Group III is not one of the bigger Groups and we had 13 on Saturday and 14 on Sunday. I know that Dylan Cowling won Group II on Saturday and went on to win the King of the Hill and State Championship Wally plaque. Genessis Coombs (sp?) won Group III on Saturday and Justin Ball won Group III on Sunday. It was a fun weekend.
