The changed the highway laws on the route to Maple Grove. It's now about a 2 and a half hour drive. Definitely skipping it this year.

We like to chase points.....and I can't do both....so NHRA is still the answer.....I've been to many IHRA races over the years.....and I've always enjoyed them....but for my group to take time off to go have fun at an IHRA race is not in the cards....I would rather chase points at an NHRA race....I have 10-13 outings available to me.....

We have Grand bend and Martin fairly close by but if they conflict or make for too many in a row....we don't go....because it just costs too much for our circus to leave the house.....

and I have no interest in 1/8 mile racing.....and I like to park on pavement....

Just my opinion, but IHRA appears to be more "newbie" friendly. I was a member of NHRA for 30 years.

As for the argument that there are too many classes in IHRA, that could be good or bad depending on one's point of view.

I view all the classes as a positive being a newbie. We will start out with a Pure Stocker and if that works well, then we will step up and modify the car to run Stock.

I am a fan of the newer body styles and big block carbed V-8s, so the IHRA Crate Motor and Stock GT classes look appealing. :)

Here's my two cents worth; when I sent an e-mail to IHRA with some questions, within half an hour the division tech director called me and spent as much time as was needed to discuss each one until all were addressed. I don't know if the same thing would happen at the other santioning body but I was impressed with their concern for a sportsman racer. Give them a try, you won't be sorry!

You guys don't have to drive 2 1/2 hours to race? Most of ours are 5 to 8 hours from here, No Problem is over 12. You guys have it easy.
