Where can I get more info about these Combo meets ? (Rules, dates , etc?)

Also, is it just for NHRA class cars or can IHRA cars compete ? (I Mainly want to know if an IHRA Stock GT car can compete?)

Mike you can race your car. We don't have many IHRA Cars but you would be welcome. The next races are the weekend of August 7th and 8th, Saturday night and Sunday, two races on one weekend.

On a related note, anyone know if the Ohio Valley Raceway S/SS combo meets are for NHRA only cars or can IHRA racers run ?


Edit: Does the Beech Bend combo meets use 1/4 mile or 1/8th mile runs ?

IHRA cars are welcome at Ohio Valley also. Rules like Bowling Green. Bowling Green is 1/4 mile and Ohio Valley is 1/8 mile.

That's good to hear Greg !
Now I have more motivation to build a stocker knowing I have a couple of places to run it other than divisional events.:)

Am I correct in assuming that these combo meets are "all run" events as long as the drivers runs under their index ?

I did not know that so I can race my IHRA pure stocker at combos @ Bowling Green I always thought it was just NHRA combos when is the next one?

So that rules out Pure Stock, Crate Motor, and Stock GT cars. Bummer..:(

With my luck, by the time I get my car ready, the S/SS combo meets will be dying out. That's been my luck with hobbies, by the time I'm ready to play, the playgrounds are closing up. I do have regrets since trying to get back into racing, wish we hadn't quit 20 years ago. Life takes different turns for all of us.

If I had my car ready, it'd be coming to the meets, running under the index or not. Until a car gets sorted out, EVERY pass is a practice pass. Besides everyone loves a first round gimmee, don't they?

Alan, there must have been some confusion on Clay's part because we have had crate motor cars run in the past. Something that changed was that if you had a car that fit in a NHRA class you have to run that index and horsepower rating. I will send Clay an e-mail and see if they are still allowing IHRA cars like crate motors or SS/ Pa and let you know.
