Re: NHRA Has a new President
 

Wonderful !
Could have been 150.
This very stream of poster talks about dropping Car Counts elsewhere.
Not the first time discussed.

Why would NHRA drop the index 3 tenths? What's wrong with where it's at. Believe me I had one of the stocker combinations that was dramatically affected when NHRA changed it. Either your car runs the number or you need to invest the time and money to get it there, everyone else does.

I just do not understand your logic that all the current rules need to bend or change for cars that do not fit the current Stock/SS rules.

Re: NHRA Has a new President
 

I never said anything about dropping car counts, I said someone else couldn't blame our division director for lower car counts. In fact I've seen improving car counts the last couple years. You could nearly tale all the PS and CM cars in the country and couldn't have had 150. Get your story straight.

GALOT is an 1/8th mile facility.

We don’t need no STINKING. Crate Motor Or Pure Stock
Delusional Dan. I want 3 tenth lol.
Bracket racing is your friend.

Re: NHRA Has a new President
 

Sean:
Should have said the IHRA Indexes..to match NHRA's.


HR:
1)
You missed what I wrote.
IHRA events a good half the cars are GT, CM and PS.
185 Stocker drivers raced at IHRA events last year.

2) There are discussions on CR about car counts being down in other areas of the country.

3) If you have not raced at an IHRA event I can understand why you think the way you do.

Re: NHRA Has a new President
 

I had heard that they were thinking about making it a 1/4th mile track a while ago. Wasn't sure if that had been done. I like 1/8th mile racing anyway. Thanks Michael.

Re: NHRA Has a new President
 

Dan
1) A good half is not a correct statement, maybe in your area. Of the 185 alot are already racing NHRA.
2) I have raced alot of IHRA events in the past, I preferred racing with NHRA that's where I chose to race because it was a much better experience for me.
3) You built an IHRA only car, you gambled and lost......

Re: NHRA Has a new President
 

Go away for a few days and this thread turned into yet another ihra/nhra thread?

Stop already, talk to nhra, if they action your request, great, if they don't move on.

Re: NHRA Has a new President
 

It is 1/8th but they ran the Lucas divisional to the 1000 ft. in all classes except stock, super stock, and comp. I think it would be cool if they would come up w/ indexes for us so we could run 1000' too. That is if Mr. Wells doesn't purchase the land at the end of the track to increase the shutdown so we can run the 1/4!

Re: NHRA Has a new President
 

The demise of IHRA will probably help d-2 more than any other division due to the number of stock/super stock racers (among others) that raced only IHRA due to the lighter travel requirements. Racers will find somewhere to race and based on the questions I've been getting at our CCRA races I think you will see quite a few more "IHRA" racers converting to NHRA. I for one think Rich is doing a great job, as he has spread out the races away from just Florida and south Georgia as they were under the previous DD. Galot and Rockingham had really good car counts in stock and super stock. Of course the time of year those races were scheduled was perfect for this part of the country too!

Re: NHRA Has a new President
 

I hope you are right Tracy, if they do make the switch I think they will find out the water is just fine as we already know.

Re: NHRA Has a new President
 

Well stated Sean. Dan, it's time for you and your IHRA fellow racers to face reality. After Bill Bader retired, IHRA began its journey down the slippery slope to obscurity, where it now finds itself. I'm sure that all of the Stock and Super Stock racers at NHRA will welcome your upcoming efforts to join us - - with your NHRA legal cars.
