This is the approximate dates of 2012 races scheduled for Bristol, TN, and Chicago, IL. I wonder how the 2013 schedule is going to change to accommodate the new race.

Actually I liked the IHRA National that used to be at NE Dragway. The IHRA ProMods, ProStocks and Nitro Harleys are much more entertaining but it will NE nice to have a national event again.

Wonder what any of the racers think of having to bring their cars way up to New England ?

That is alot of fuel to go there and back. Pretty cool for the folks who live there, not so if your from the Chicago area

New England Dragway is one of the coolest tracks I have ever seen. You pull off the highway and where the off ramp comes ends you are looking straight down the track. I would think they would have to do a few upgrades for the patrons before the event though.

As far as being a long way away, it's not far from Boston so that no big deal. It's a 3 hour drive to the closest track to me and only 7 hrs to Epping. There's a no brainer if I was going to go see the big boys play.
