FACT SHEET
WHAT: Inaugural GM Performance NHRA Sport Compact Nationals, the first of 10 events in the $1.7 million NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series. Heads-up, no breakout competition leading to 2003 NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series championships in five different categories (Pro RWD, Pro FWD, Modified, Hot Rod and All Motor). Two heads-up sport (Sport RWD and Sport FWD) classes. Two dial-in E.T. bracket classes: ET1 - 14.00 or slower, ET2 - 13.99-12.00.
WHERE: The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, I-15 North and exit Speedway Blvd.
WHEN: Saturday through Sunday, March 15-16, 2003. Event schedule
PURSE: Cash and contingency awards of more than $156,000.
TELEVISION: Saturday, March 29, ESPN2 will televise 30 minutes of event coverage at 9:30 p.m. (ET). *Check local listings, television schedule subject to change.
TICKETS:Tickets available at the gate. Saturday - Adult $15, Child $ 5, Kids (6-under) Free; Sunday - Adult $20, Child $8, Kids (6-under) Free; Weekend pass - Adult $30, Child $10.
WHAT TO EXPECT: As the NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series kicks-off its third season, the hot topic will be the new Pro RWD and Pro FWD categories. The Pro RWD class looks to be one of the toughest categories with the likes of veterans Abel Ibarra, Craig Paisley and Ara Arslanian, who made the first sanctioned six-second sport compact pass in 2002, along with sport compact racing star Stephan Papadakis, who moves up from the Modified category. The Pro FWD class also will feature some fresh faces in a new category as the first lady of sport compact racing Lisa Kubo joins Team Saturn and Shaun Carlson prepares to debut his Mopar-backed Dodge Neon. Nelson Hoyos hopes his experience will lead his Pro FWD Chevrolet to his first NHRA victory. The Modified category is wide-open as both 2003 champion Matt Hartford and Papadakis move to Pro RWD. Carlos Gonzalez, who won the 2001 Modified title, hopes to regain what he lost last season and hold off the likes of Jimmy O'Connor, who scored his first NHRA victory at the season finale in Pomona, Calif. In the Turbo Magazine Hot Rod class, a consistent mid-8-second machine is a prerequisite if one expects to win in the all-FWD class. Bruce Mortensen, who dominated the second half of 2002 with five victories, looks to continue his dominant performance, while Marty Ladwig and Lance HoLung hope to score their first NHRA victories. In All Motor, all eyes are set upon Jesus Padilla who controlled the category with seven victories last season.
