Here's one: Where's Bo? (aka Bo Butner) Answer: Same place where Jules & Rich Schoenberger ... went NMCA racing!!

I know, I know...these guys where comp racers. But a good indicator of things to come. I got into a long conversation with Jules & a couple former comp racers a few years back who said "NHRA is gonna have to get their ***** together soon or there will be no more racers, especially after what they did to PST".

Both Bo and Jules have converted super mod cars that are now running heads-up outlaw "street" racing and probably never gonna look back. I also noticed the NMCA Nostalgia Muscle Car classes where the '65 will be headed.

IHRA will be there for performance based S/SS competition. Otherwise there's PLENTY of shoe polish racing at SSSSA, ECSSA, and a ton of other associations, offering 10 times the fun over ANY NHRA enhancement!!!! Times are-a-changin', but NHRA isn't :confused:.

I still can't grasp how anyone pay fees as ridiculious as NHRA and claim to have fun unless they win or get runner up. I've said it before & will say it again, NHRA will not survive on John Force and Don Schumacher alone. And that's pretty much all that's left. (AJR will be in the mid-east by 2012).

Seriously, and my butthole is not sore. I belong to and enjoy running both NHRA and IHRA. It takes special circumstances for me to run 1/8th mile. I have run 1/8th mile and have had no problems adapting to it. I think it is easier, that may be why some prefer it. It seems to me bracket oriented people like 1/8th mile better than the performance oriented racers. Fortunately for me there is a nice 1/4 mile track across town. Mike Edwards, V. Gains, the Freeman family, and several Comp racers test there all the time. If I lived in a rural area with only 1/8th mile tracks, maybe I would learn to like it better.

Guess I'm a little slow. Where did it say that?

Re: Just got this email from IHRA...
 

Your not slow, it evidently was hidden behind the text and was written in red. I don't even know how it appeared but I had read the message then clicked away to another email then clicked back to the message and there was the message!.........strange!

Re: Just got this email from IHRA...
 

This is to all the guys that race 1/4 mile, since you don't like 1/8th mile racing could you tell me how you got to the 1/4 mile without passing the eighth?

Just wondering?

I think that's probably the best post I have ever read on this forum.
