Looks like car counts are up slightly from the first pro-am.

I realize the main reason for the bump in td and ts competition is because of the PDRA race next week. Plenty of people decided to hit this race too.

But seems to be up across the board, love to see it. Still a long way to go to get to NHRA participation levels, but trending in the right direction.

The weather report is horrible, plus Buckeye Stock Superstock Asso. has a double race Saturday/Sunday with free testing Friday at a track close (Thompson/Kuhne Raceway)

Does anybody know how ihra ladders the pairs in Stock And Superstock?

Re: IHRA Milan Dragway Nitro Jam Roll Call, who's going?
 

Just like NHRA. At least they did in Columbus

I know everyone wants to say the NHRA vs IHRA thing but I think IHRA also needs to look into the local associations also, when IHRA dropped the Pro Am deal many years back A LOT of racers were very mad and found new homes with the local Mid Atlantic Series, Buckeye, Great Lakes, ASRA, CCRA series and realized that these series might not have all the pomp and glitter but they are a fun time and run by racers, so it's going to take time for these racers to test the water to come play if they have a race on top of each other. The best thing I can say is try to get the 2026 schedule out ASAP because I know when I'm waiting on a NHRA Div / NE schedule in Mid-November a lot of tracks have 85% of their schedules completed so you're picking from the scraps and here in the NE with Atco & Etown gone and some tracks charging a rental that you need to put your first born up for sale to get a date, it's the main reason we had to expand from just Super Gas & Super Comp, my long time members have been voicing their "Not Happy" voices about us adding TS, TD, Juniors and Stock / SS but only way we can get a date is bring more cars but some still live in 1990 with the costs.

Has IHRA established any kind of tech yet for the class cars? And if so, to what level? Do they have heads ups during Eliminations? I know there are officials from NHRA that have become consultants for IHRA, just wondering at this point if it is running like an association race with a high payout?

Re: IHRA Milan Dragway Nitro Jam Roll Call, who's going?
 

Duane, yes there are heads up races in stock and Superstock.

Enjoy the show for the $5000 Prize.

tech at Columbus went through line like it use to be before covid. Robert Kinton that worked for IHRA for years was in tech and seemed to be overseeing things.There was a young guy I didn't catch his name,he looked familiar? that was checking cars mainly safety stuff. Robert was checking weight etc.. It is a work in progress, we weighed,didn't have fuel check until first round of eliminations of national,if I remember correctly,they were still working on getting that setup at beginning of race. If there is a heads up it will be heads up.. I asked about setting records and Robert said that should be ready to go next year..
