The forecast didn’t look good at the start of last week and it progressed to dire as the NHRA Championship weekend got rained out.

NHRA is closing out its 74th Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season on its ancestral dragstrip in Pomona the weekend of November 13-16. The 60th annual In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals takes place at In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip and will crown champions in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle.
Halloween in Sin City is going to be fast, furious and more exciting than it usually is, as NHRA’s Mission Foods Drag Racing Series contests its 19th of 20 races to determine national champions in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle.
By the time four rounds of qualifying and four elimination rounds were completed, the look of this year’s six-race Countdown to the Championship playoffs gained a lot of clarity
After two events in the six-race NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series Countdown to the Championship playoffs, only two players in four classes look even partially safe. Drag racing is a sport where anything can happen and usually does.
A cool $150,000 will be awarded to each of the top finishers of the 14-race “regular” season at the Cornwell Quality Tools NHA U.S. Nationals at Indy in Top Fuel and Funny Car, with additional payouts for Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle.
Third-generation drag racer, Richard Gadson, has been working towards his first Pro Stock Motorcycle victory for years.
Some races are really worth the wait. This past weekend’s 24th annual Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals on the Bristol Dragway dragstrip had its share of postponements, cancellations and downtime to frustrate anyone in the pits and the stands, but in the end, history was made for four winners.
Richard Gadson will join Gaige Herrara on the Vance & Hines team.
