We see new index racing creeping in at NHRA national events.
Is NHRA far behind?

Nope

The unfortunate fact of the matter is that NHRA is now the monopoly.

This is not good news for anybody.

Re: IHRA Ends Stock & Super Stock Racing
 

The recent Summit/IHRA contract extension does raise the question as to the future of the National Points Series by the omission of any mention of it. It does not "confirm" the end of class racing.
I sent an e-mail to the IHRA PR guy on Friday asking when any additional information would be forthcoming. He responded by indicating additional announcements would be made in the next few weeks.
Although it seems likely that the end of IHRA class racing is on the near horizon, let's wait for an official word from IHRA. If Peaco "leaked" that info in advance, that is completely inappropriate behavior for a corporate officer.

Official Announcement:
After talking to Jeff Ross, we both agree that the Buckeye Stock/Super Stock Association will run off of the 2017 IHRA SS/Stock classes and indexes for our series in 2018. We hope that other independent series do the same thing to give the IHRA class cars somewhere to race in 2018.

Does any one remember AHRA?

Great decision - Jeff and Joe!

Re: IHRA Ends Stock & Super Stock Racing
 

Our AZ. association allows IHRA classes to compete.
I realize there aren't many cars within 1000 miles, but the option is there.
We just take 3 tenths off the IHRA indexes for qualifying points.
Allowing IHRA classes to race, and adopting their indexes ,are two separate issues.
