NOPI Sport Compact by NHRA


NHRA has announced that in 2008, will combine forces with NOPI to sanction sport compact drag racing events at NOPI events. The new sport compact race series will be called NOPI Drag Racing Series sanctioned by NHRA. NOPI and NHRA will develop classes to ensure that all cars that competed in the NHRA in 2007 will have a place to race in the NOPI Drag Racing Series sanctioned by NHRA in 2008.
To me, it is all very clear. There is no NHRA Sport Compact Drag Racing Series anymore, it is just going to be a single series run by NOPI and sanctioned by the NHRA (aka putting the NHRA name on it to make everyone feel better).

I was afraid this was going to happen when Wally died. He was one of the very few inside the NHRA that liked the Sport Compact series. This is the perfect way for the NHRA to say they still care about us but not have to spend the money on the series. I feel bad for those inside the NHRA that did care about us because they might be out of a job today.
