I'm doing it a little bit differently this year. Rather than dividing the nation into regions, it will be universal by date. Please send me additions. I'll post any nostalgia race date I know about.
The American Drag Racing Association (ADRA) was a new organization this year. It is having difficulties and all race dates appear to be tenative at best. Please check with the tracks to be sure there is a race. It has appeared to be very flathead friendly and I hope it survives, but frankly, it doesn't look good.
(Please note that I am abreviating Flatheaders of Denver, Inc. & The Vintage Timing Association as "Denver Flatheaders" in the interest of saving me work.)
