NHRA Drag Racing League Conference Finals
Information - 2003
Here are some facts about this year's
Jr. Conference Finals to help answer questions that you may be
asked:
Note that many racers still refer to these as the Jr. Nationals. There
is no Jr. Nationals. These are the events they are talking about.
These events will hopefully draw about 600 cars each.
* The NHRA Jr. Drag Racing League Eastern
Conference Finals is June 25-28 at Maple Grove Raceway near Reading, Pa.
* The NHRA Jr. Drag Racing League Western Conference Finals is
July 30-Aug. 2 at Bandimere Speedway outside of Denver, Colo.
* Racers must represent an NHRA Member Race Track (exception is defending
champions who are seeded). Each track may send three teams of 10 each.
Teams from Divisions 1, 2 and 3 must go to the Eastern Race.
Teams from Division 5, 6 and 7 must go to the Western race. Teams from
Division 4 may go to one OR the other but the whole team must go to the
same event.
* Rosters must be turned in (FAXED) by the race tracks to the NHRA Field
Office no later than June 10 in the East and July 15 in the West. This
will give NHRA publications time to get all of the names into the respective
entry lists. Entry forms should be sent by the racers to the
appropriate host race tracks with appropriate fees prior to the event.
These rosters and entry forms will be sent to the race track from the NHRA
field office on June 1.
* Racers will race in an age groups (8-9, 10 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16-17)
according to the their age on Jan. 1, 2003. The only exception is
racer who began the year as a nine-year-old and turned 10 before the event.
Those racers can choose to run with the 8-9 year-old group or the
10-year-old group. Anyone running the 8-9 year old group must adhere
to the 12.90 elapsed time limit for that category.
* Each age group champion receives a Wally trophy and a $5,000 savings bond.
There will also be a championship team that
receives a Wally (10 ea.) trophies.
