NHRA Auto Club Finals – November 12-15, 2009 in Pomona, CA

It seems like the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series speeds by fast as the dragsters themselves. The Fall Nationals took place here in Dallas just this last weekend, so perhaps we’ve still got exhaust in our blood, but now we’re hankering for more. With just four meets left to go, I’ll bet you race fans are gearing up for the big finale.

The Auto Club of Southern California NHRA Finals are barely a month away, so it’s time you started thinking about tickets if you hadn’t before. All four categories – top fuel dragster, funny car, pro stock and pro stock motorcycle – are still in contention, and if things stick to tradition, the victors won’t be decided until the wheels hit the pavement in Pomona.

The NHRA Finals offer four days of fun-fueled spectatorship, with hourly action to keep you jumping up out of your seats. Friday kicks the festivities off with nearly 11 hours of qualifying sessions, but the real action starts Saturday when the first elimination rounds are raced. Naturally, it all builds up to the big Sunday morning finales, so don’t miss’em.

Purchase tickets by the day, or make a weekend of it and pony up to the 4-day General Admission pass ($135). If you’ve got the cash to spend, you may want to upgrade to the reserved seats, an extra $30 per ticket on the 4-day.

The Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals will take place at the Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, California, about 25 miles east of Los Angeles. Gates are open from November 12-15, with the qualifying series beginning on Friday the 13^th. Learn more.

Of course, I wouldn’t expect you to stay as far out as Los Angeles, not when the Radisson Suites Covina Hotel is just a few miles away. This place, probably our favorite hotel near Pomona, CA, typically offers a load of specials, so be sure to check them out to see if there’s one for you.

Have fun at the NHRA Finals!
