The 5th race of the 2019 season, the 32nd annual Mopar Express Lane NHRA SpringNationals, is April 12-14 at Houston Raceway Park in Baytown, TX.
Neither Pro Stock nor Pro Stock Motorcycle is competing at this event.
Before the 2019 NHRA season started I posted a thread asking for your suggestions of what class you wanted to add so we would have at least three classes for our game - or if you only wanted to have two classes for certain events. I didn't receive any replies so...after making an executive decision, I decided to add Pro Mod for this event to shake things up a bit.
As always, your picks need to be posted before Pro Qualifying starts on Friday, April 12 in order to qualify for all event bonus points. Pro qualifying is scheduled to start at 4:00PM EDT (1:30 PM PDT).
The SpringNationals entry list is posted on NHRA.com and currently shows 17 Top Fuel, 17 Funny Car and 27 Pro Mod entries but that is always subject to change. Keep checking the NHRA.com website for an updated entry list to make sure your picks are competing at this event.
Get your picks posted and GOOD LUCK!
