Re: Stock & Super Stock Out, All Index Racing Starting 2022
That is because the S/SS community did not support IHRA.
Did not help that IHRA shot its foot off with limited Marketing Promotion. I showed up to most of the races I could reach. Not much difference than Mike Beards ClassNationals. First year was an awesome event..timing killed the next one. Fault myself for not supporting it a second time. It could have added a difference. NHRA did not support the CM and PS classes. Which could have kept IHRA alive. Purest snubbed the classes and NHRA saw this. Now the new threat is all Class racing as we know it will be eliminated. Especially since NHRA owns us!

Re: Stock & Super Stock Out, All Index Racing Starting 2022
I never understood why NHRA racers did not support IHRA Stock and Super Stock.
Some nice tracks with a reputation of treating racers well. |

I hope that most of you found this humorous. That was my intent, as Stock Super/Stock racers can say limit or do away with the index classes as nobody watches them anyway. There boring. We are all just fill in for the big show, and a stroke of NHRA's pen can do what? JFYI I do have 2 Super Stocker to. Cal SST1177 |

Unfortunately not far from the truth.

He asked me to hold the check for a week, before trying to cash it. A local race the next weekend would give him enough to make it good. Several local friends knew about it. It never would clear, so I tossed it. Did not badger the gentleman about it. Decided I had enough IHRA. Being accused of cheating was not flattering, either. Glad they went belly up.

Re: Stock & Super Stock Out, All Index Racing Starting 2022
My experience was good with IHRA as well. The southeast division was growing every year. I managed a win, runner up and some late round finishes at a few of their races. Always got paid and contingencies were paid much faster than with NHRA and all paid. Purse was also higher for winner than NHRA. I was sorry to see them fold.
