The latest update as of May 9, 2024

6th annual West Texas Nationals

They did manage to complete qualifying, with two sessions on Friday and one on Saturday. But that's as far as they got, as the deluge of rain that was forecast caused eliminations to be washed out. With possible tornados and more intense rain forecast for Sunday, the decision to cancel the balance of the event was the obvious choice for the Funny Car Chaos director, Chris Graves to make. Points were awarded to all the racers, 22 in total, that made qualifying passes.

The FCC tour will pick up with the fourth stop on the 2024 schedule coming up in a little more than two weeks at Eddyville, IA. It's the annual "Chaos in The Cornfield" race, that will feature a double dose of drag racing, with the Funny Car Chaos crew and the Nitro Chaos folks. So far, there's 29 funny cars on the pre-entry list, plus 17 nitro chaos cars. The nitro gang includes a Pro Mod, a bunch of Fuel Altereds, four Funny Cars and four front-engine dragsters, all burning a minimum of 80% nitro.
