This is the body of a email that I sent to the new Division 6 Director from IHRA and this is the reply that I received.

Hi Frank,

I am a racer from the newly formed Division 6 and I have cars that run in both Stock and Super Stock classes, I and many other racers have been trying to get a straight answer on what the new to us Pro-AM series is offering. Are you running separate classes for Stock and Super Stock? Many of us have asked about setting records is there going to be an opportunity? Will the top 3 in points get a berth into the TOC like every other division? Will there be any Class eliminations held? What contingency is offered? What are the Pro-AM payouts?

We are all excited to have choice but would like the opportunity to have the same options for the same costs as every other IHRA member. I would appreciate some answers to these questions as they will dictate where my racing dollars are spent.

"We are excited as well to extend our Summit Pro Am Tour out to our fellow competitors in Canada. There are no class eliminations at any pro am event nor has there ever been, Stock and Super stock class eliminations are run at select Nitro Jam events. "Each class will have a Division champion which includes that the top 3 in each of the 7 Summit Pro Am categories(Hot Rod, Stock, Quick Rod, Top Sportsman, Super Rod, Top Dragster and Super Stock, will quailfy for the TOC event at the World Finals, Each event has class contingency for each of the 7 Pro am classes. I have included a link for the contingency postings for each class and payout page that shows the payout for each class of the Summit Pro Am Tour. We will not be set up or able to do class record runs this year. This is the first year for the Division 6 Pro am tour and we will have limited resources on our part but other than record runs or tear downs you as a racer will not be limited in anyway as far as anything else goes in the Summit Pro Am tour events. Thank you for supporting IHRA and I look forward to working with you in the near future, please feel free to contact me if you or anyone should have any additional questions or concerns. Each of the 7 Summit Pro Am catergories will be run separately as their own class for 2011. Please feel free to spread the word and help get the racers to support these events in Division 6.
