Attention St. Thomas Dragway racersAs a result of business decisions made by track management regarding insuranceprograms and related obligations, St. Thomas Dragway will not be granted NHRAmember track status in 2003. As such, the track will not be able to field a team inthe 2003 NHRA Summit Racing Series. We hope that the facility will rejoin NHRAand participate in the NHRA Summit Racing Series in the future.
