Nitromater.com reports the 2021 NHRA Northwest Nationals in Seattle, WA, have been cancelled due to the continued State of Washington COVID-19 restrictions.
This event has been replaced on the 2021 schedule with the Lucas Oil Winternationals at Auto Club Raceway at the Fairplex in Pomona, California, July 30-August 1.

Although it will still be called the 'Winternationals' I'm reasonably confident that you will not see a bit of snow on the mountains north of the raceway like you usually see while watching the television coverage! The average high temp for August 1 in Pomona is 91F with 45% humidity. I know 45% humidity isn't much for the midwest, east coast and southeast, but it's high for SoCal.

Hey guys, cut me a little slack on posting both the qualifying and race results from the SpringNationals.
Our Inland Mopars Car Clubs annual charity-benefit car show is tomorrow (05/23) and I've got to be at the show venue at 5:00AM. I'm not sure what time I'll be home or when I'll get to see the replay of the race from the DVR.
I'll get the results posted as quick as possible but the next NHRA national event isn't until June 11-13.
 
All is good ocdart :thumbsup:
I bet it's going to be a good time now that things are opening back up :thankyou:
