The NOPI Drag Racing Series website reports that last weekend’s event at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce was cancelled due to inclement weather.  However, of particular interest to NHRA competitors who will be competing at the Summit Racing Equipment Southern Nationals at the facility on the weekend of April 24-27 was this inclusion: “…there was a crack at the transition of the newly resurfaced track at this world class facility that had the drag racers questioning the track’s safety.  Some have expressed the opinion that maybe it was a good thing the race was cancelled all together (sic.).” 

Our sources at NHRA report that the issue is already being addressed and that there will be no problems during the Southern Nationals.
