No. It was always my dream to be invited to race Pomona at the end of the year by winning the divisional.
Beach, you are right about strange ways of dealing with noise regulations. On a typical bracket night at RMR the loudest part of the event is the PA, which ironically only works in the pits, sporadically.
RACE ON!!!
That is still my dream or hope.... just have to put it all together in the same year and hope you get a little bit of luck too I guess.
On Pomona, a lot of racers were really upset at the decision back in 99, myself included. It didn't make sense to us.... but it was all about the money. The NHRA events bring in millions to NHRA.... Although I will say the car counts at the street legal drags were in the 300-400 every day regardless of rain or shine, so they had to be making money on it.....but probably just thousands, which unfortunately, gets the boot when compared to millions.
I do think it is embarassing for the NHRA.... to not have any type of weekly or monthly racing program on your own home track...... shows you the state of drag racing when the premier drag racing assocation can't even pull off a grass roots program in their own backyard.
