Now we have 3 months to rest up and get more done on our Mopars each weekend.
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!

Maybe I can help you guys next year. I'll pick first each race. Then you look at mine and pick someone else for a fighting chance.

Thanks for another year (of pain for me) oc - appreciate all of your work!
