Re: Live from San Antonio IHRA
 

Wish I was there... seeing the car count just makes it that much worse. I am 5 hours away, with a car sitting in the trailer ready to go.
Work had to come first this week, and the Friday - Saturday schedule just killed my opportunity.
Wish everyone there the best!

smracer 2002,

Thanks, for the great pictures & reporting ... Can't understand why more cars don't show - up .... We need to support the people who support us racers , I hope we aren't all Sorry someday ... We need to have choices where we can race, not just NHRA ? Time will tell , let's hope racers wake-up ... Good Luck to all who are racing @ San Antonio ....

I agree with Dave.100%.......

Re: Live from San Antonio IHRA
 

Stock and S/Stock get 1 time shot in the am and then into eliminations.
While the IHRA was buying time for the Pros to start they offered a free
time shot for class cars.Only Latino and Hampton took them up on it as it
was a long time after the 3rd qualifying run.
They never did post the 3rd rd of Stock but in the 3rd round of S/Stk
there was a small change as Blackmons car picked up to a 10.5855 to
go to -.5145 under.

The rest of the night was Pro Fuel(A/Fuel Dragster)
Top Fuel,Nitro Harleys,Jet cars,Monster trucks,a wheel stander,
Top Sportsman,Top Dragster,Nostalgia Funny Car,and AA/FAs.
And a triple engined Jet Semi.A good show for the family side of
the Nitro Jam as the stands got packed after 6.00pm.

Re: Live from San Antonio IHRA
 

For the life of me I can't understand why there are not more cars in San Antonio. What is IHRA doing to make people not want to come to their races? When i lived in Texas I raced quite a few IHRA races and it always seemed there was fairly good turnout. San Antonio is a nice race track, the money is decent, not great and it's a two day race. The IHRA folks always are very hospitable and treat racers really well. Why aren't you Texas racers supporting this? I'm only asking because I guess I don't understand.

Re: Live from San Antonio IHRA
 

unless I missed one, I didn't see one car from Texas on the S/SS qualifying list at the Las Vegas NHRA National. So where is everyone? According to one website I just looked at, the population of the greater San Antonio metropolitan area is 2,142,508. That is larger than the population of my state! (1,852,994) You can't tell me that there are only 13 people with class cars among a population that large that want to race. When the day comes that there is only one game in town, none of us will be able to afford to race.

Isn't texas experiencing some unusually hot weather this weekend?

Re: Live from San Antonio IHRA
 

when i read that there was just a few super stocks there and a handful of stockers, i had to scratch my head and say HUH?, somebody is gonna leave San Antonio smiling,,, What`s up racers? is because it`s a IHRA event? someone is trying to give us , both IHRA and NHRA a place to race and i see is well it`s this and it`s that that i don`t agree or like what they do, so i`ll just keep my toy at home and will not go, and 2 months later well we need more events, points meets
