"A new major championship meet arrived on the scene in 1961 when the NHRA Winternationals were held in Pomona, Calif. ... the Winternationals officially opened the new competition calendar." — Wally Parks

Pomona. It's the emotional epicenter of all drag racing. For more than 60 years, the Winternationals that runs here in February has been the launch of the drag racing season. It's where drag racing innovations debut, where nitromethane burns in the competitive battle for the first time, and where the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season rightfully kicks off 2022.

Yet before a single burnout is laid down, or a staging bulb flickers on, the NHRA's Safety Safari has been on the scene preparing, cleaning, and dare we say christening this hallowed ground of speed.

The countdown to the 2022 Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals presented by ProtectTheHarvest.com has begun. See you there, Feb. 17-20, 2022.
