Re: IHRA division 9 schedule
 

if we have friday and sat. races now we lose the extra sat. night race alot of these tracks put on for us for extra chances of $$$$ and extra track time.....im not saying they wont do anything on friday night but i think it would be harder to run anything extra for the racers that come to these races.....the idea of having sunday for a rain date is good but around here usually if it rains on sat. it rains on sun.....also means more time off work on fridays 4 a points race

Brandon where you live you can go make a run then go back to work.LOL
I liked the Saturday combo events but I also like getting home early on Sunday.

Hmm... wonder if the tracks have thought about having a bracket points race on Sunday following a Pro-Am... I can see Piedmont doing something like that.

Most races look like "1-day" events for me, if we have a qualifying run on Saturday followed by eliminations.

Re: IHRA division 9 schedule
 

Friday will be a normal day, test & tune and tech, Saturday 2 time runs and race! I would hope some or most tracks would have a bracket/combo race on Sunday for those who want to stay. Actually would no be any more time for folks, u could still come in Friday night or Saturday morning and race. The Sunday bracket race would be cool for those who like to work & race.
:D

Just can't make nobody happy. Everybody wanted this last year ,now you got it and still ain't happy. Look at the track operators , theyused to do bracket races on sat for a little extra profit . they don't get nothin now but a pro-am. Lots of people will not stay on Sunday if the pro-am race is done .Racers should be happy and track operator sad unless he gets a good car count for the pro-am. I'm happy either way. jmho.

Dub Sr. im not knocking anything they decide and i wasnt one of the racers who was wanting it so tech. not everyone wanted this....i will as always run every race that i can at IHRA events, i have never talked bad about them...i just liked the combos on sat. night plus i consider pro ams and nationals my vacation away from work and home(glad the ole lady doesnt read this)...its not a bad idea to do it this way i just liked it the old way...right now the only race i have to miss with the schedule is piedmonts pro am because my older brother is getting tied down that saturday of the race....Just wanted to say that i will be supporting everything IHRA has this year that i can make it too and im not trying to make it sound like im complaining about this just expressing my view on the new layout...like i said it makes it easier 4 a rain out to be on sunday but you know it ususally rains around here for days(sometimes it does).....Chip except for coastal plains i prob could make a run and be back to work before my boss knows im gone lol...;)

The only race I disagree with this on is Farmington. It was 38 degrees last year the first week of March as a low temp. When the sun goes down on Saturday its going to be cold. It will get dark around 630. So from 2nd round on it will be cold, very cold.

Re: IHRA division 9 schedule
 

I agree, could be snowing.

Re: IHRA division 9 schedule
 

Thanks for the support Brandon. I personally would stay on Sunday for a race especially if i was working the race that weekend ,then i could get a chance to race. It will probably work out.Maybe Somebody will come up with a brainstorm idea to try and gey racers to stay on sunday. If you set records maybe we can do tear-down on sundays (just kidding).
