Firebird Raceway Park

The NHRDA Western Regional Finals will be held there on October 3rd.

Maybe some of you Idaho FTE folks can make it out to the event. It would be great to meet you.

Yeah unless something drastic happens in Redding on the 19 of September both myself and William_04_x will be there running in the sportsman et class.

Must be nice to be 5 minutes away. We're going to drive 1000 miles to race for maybe 2 minutes....tops

.

You have any recommendations for a decent motel near the track?

You'll probably want to stay in the city of Meridian. Check for hotels on or near Eagle rd. The Hotel closest to Firebird is the Hilton Garden Inn in Eagle, still about 20 mins away. Meridian is about 35 mins away.
