Default NHRA season starts this weekend at Pomona

Weather is looking good for the weekend opener, sunny and mid 70's. Conditions should make for some good times this weekend.

Yep, thats gonna add more excitment to the mix Maybe we will see a sub 4.40 run this year....that would be cool !

Also will be interesting to see how the new qualifing format pans out......

"The qualifying procedure for POWERade Series events has been altered. Only the top 12 times will be officially recorded after the first day of qualifying. That leaves four spots unclaimed. The top 12 times will not be locked in, however, and racers in that top tier can still be bumped or moved in the order during the final two qualifying sessions, where the final four spots will be earned for a full 16-vehicle field."
