It rained some last year if memory serves me correctly. Agree, the show sucks since it moved to Fontuckey. They should either go back to pomona or even Bakersfield.

Can only hope. Think would have a better chance of going to Bakersfield than back to Pomona.

What makes you think it was a flop? It makes money, I promise you that.

Tend to agree with you, as the Street Legal program and Super Chevy were both sacrificial lambs to the local homeowners complaints in the surrounding areas. They knew that giving up some would keep the NHRA races safe there for a little while. Eventually, it will all be moved to Fontana.

Fontana, in spite of the drawbacks (wind and such), is a nicer facility than Bakersfield and Fontana makes a ton of concessions to the SCS to keep them there.

The problem with Fontana is the drag strips location. The shut down is not long enough and therefore will never host a national event.

the fact that i have gone to every super chevy for the last 7years, and every year it gets worse, since it was moved to fontana, it used to be huge, with tons of show cars, exhibition cars and bracket racing, and test n tune, now its just a flop and a waste of time and money

I hear ya, it was bigger - even when it was just Super Chevy Sunday. Hopefully it will get bigger again, but won't do so in worse facilities.

You're right. The 1/4 mile thing was an afterthought in the layout of the speedway, unlike other venues where the design is actually incorporated. I've heard talk of changes to the track, but the whole thing is so politically mired in debate, it'll take years to get things done right.

The pragmatic issue with the layout could easily be fixed to allow the dragstrip to function to host bigger events, but the owners of the speedway don't want to make those changes because they then feel they're living with compromises for the two times a year they hold huge events.
