Re: Combo at Beech Bend
 

If it is advertised as a combo race where NHRA and IHRA cars are legal, then you should be able to run as either. I am sure Ricky Clark runs his Camaro as a xx/FIA instead of in xx/SA. The same is for IHRA super stock production cars. In NHRA they would have to run in SS modified.
I would think the louvers would have to be in the A/SA regardless though.

on another note though, I think both sanctioning bodies need to get together and have an independent firm do the chassis inspections, or at least honor the chassis of the other based upon the ET of the cars. YOu might have to still pay for both, but at least the cars could get certified one time and be good to tun anywhere without a problem.

Sorry, but I didn't see a qualifying sheet either day. I know there were 51 cars on Sat. and 52 on Sun. We did run off a ladder based on qualifying.

Does anyone else that was there know about qualifying? I think Ricky Decker was # 2 on Sat. and the SS/MA was # 1 on Sunday, but I don't remember his name. It was a yellow car!

Jim Meredith SS/MA Chevelle was #1 qualifier both days. Yes I did class B/FIA because a fellow racer asked me if i would so he could run C/SA so i did. As far as IHRA/NHRA rules my opinon is if you HAVE a IHRA membership number than you can run the IHRA classes if not you claim NHRA classes just my opinon.

Sorry I didn't get a picture of your car Ricky. And congratulations for winning Sat. night.

4. Myself

As far as rules go, I know its a glorified bracket race, but I wish it were NHRA rules only. But then again, what is the IHRA factor for the 1972 Nova 350??? Hell, you might change my mind, maybe its lower than 278!

Re: Combo at Beech Bend
 

what were the qualifying times for everyone?
