Thanks Chad. If you were familiar with Jim's work you would see why I made that comment.

Nice pics !
Where can I get more info about these Combo meets ? (Rules, dates , etc?)

Also, is it just for NHRA class cars or can IHRA cars compete ? (I Mainly want to know if an IHRA Stock GT car can compete?)

Almack, they used to let IHRA cars run but at the last race announced it will be NHRA cars only.

Guys , it's for NHRA and IHRA cars. The thing that changes from now on is that if your car has a NHRA class you have to use that index and horsepower rating. If you are a crate motor car or some other class NHRA does not have you can race off IHRA indexes and horsepower ratings. Remember Bowling Green is an NHRA track and will use their indexes and hp ratings where appropriate.

Mike you can race your car. We don't have many IHRA Cars but you would be welcome. The next races are the weekend of August 7th and 8th, Saturday night and Sunday, two races on one weekend.

On a related note, anyone know if the Ohio Valley Raceway S/SS combo meets are for NHRA only cars or can IHRA racers run ?

Edit: Does the Beech Bend combo meets use 1/4 mile or 1/8th mile runs ?

IHRA cars are welcome at Ohio Valley also. Rules like Bowling Green. Bowling Green is 1/4 mile and Ohio Valley is 1/8 mile.

That's good to hear Greg !
Now I have more motivation to build a stocker knowing I have a couple of places to run it other than divisional events.

Am I correct in assuming that these combo meets are "all run" events as long as the drivers runs under their index ?
