DRAG RACING

We have a special note regarding our 2011 fantasy drag racing coverage.  Due to the number of prominent drivers who are still without sponsorships due to the state of the economy, we are holding off on reinstituting our draft until 2012  Our previous coverage can be found below.

We have covered NHRA in the past, but we took our coverage in 2008 to a brand new level.  We are happy to welcome on board FDH Fantasy Drag Racing correspondant Jeff Weber, who has provided invaluable help to us in our coverage.  We conducted a fantasy drag racing draft on January 27, 2008 as a special segment on THE FDH LOUNGE (Tuesdays, 7-9 PM EDT on SportsTalkNetwork.com) as a means of demonstrating to the readers, viewers and listeners of FDH content how to take their enjoyment of drag racing to the next level with a pool to be enjoyed among friends.

As with any sports that we cover, we furnish suggested league guidelines for your convenience.

SUGGESTED LEAGUE GUIDELINES

^ A standard serpentine-style draft serves as the best place to begin.

^ The ideal distribution of talent would be 6 teams drafted by 7 owners.

^ Each owner would select two drivers from each of the three NHRA divsions (excluding the bike circuit, which does not compete alongside the other divsions each and every week), with one additional "wild card" driver from one of the divisions.

^ Points would be allocated according to the standard NHRA scoring system.
