The 2020 NHRA season kicks off with the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals presented by ProtectTheHarvest.com, Feb. 6-9, right back at Auto Club Raceway at The Fairplex in Pomona, CA.
I've already got my ticket for Friday qualifying and I'm more than ready for that first "nitro fix" of 2020.
See you there!
Watch for the 2020 game notice post sometime in January.

Thanks for playing and Happy Holidays all!
