It's just south of you, Lee. ;-) I doubt you'll see any major changes in Div.9

Re: IHRA Div. 5 Schedule?
 
Yea, I doubt to see any changes, but if they keep it the same I would expect to see Piedmont on top of my graduation...

Trying to have a schedule together for sponsor proposals to send in a few weeks.

Dave,

WIR, Dakota Flat Track, Thunder Valley, and US 41 are all still IHRA tracks. And never say never. Many tracks switch back and forth between the sanctioning bodies over the years. And Byron is not what I would call a Div. 3 track. You hardly supported races even when gas was cheap. Alex and Tony did a phenomenal job helping to promote those races. I do feel that disbanding the Div. for one year took a major toll on it.

You'd never have a "northern Div. 9", in the midwest because you don't have that many tracks close together, and you don't have the population density. Besides, we've only got 5 races, all of which are singles.

Why Doesn't Ihra Just Combine Div. 3 & 5 In '08 ???

Face it all the '07 IHRA Div.5 events (Byron,Mich131 & Osceola) were in Div.3 anyway....So why not just terminate Div.5 once & for all and add all those events to a new bigger expanded '08 IHRA Div.3 schedule??? What's the point in trying to keep Div.5 alive hanging on by thumbnails and tarnishing all the good memories of Div.5 Commander Alex & Tony Dennysenko worked so hard for from 2000-2004 when they got Bill Bader to move IHRA west to begin with in the first place. Merry X-Mas & Happy Holidays.

Unless IHRA is going to have Pro-Am's again back in the original Div.5 confinds of Wis,Iowa,S.D. ect again this comming season.... Why not just combine divisions 3 & 5 for 2008 & stop all the pain & suffering of having to watch Div.5 die a slow death track by track does that make too much sense or not ???

Re: IHRA Div. 5 Schedule?
 
Herb, I never talked trash about you. Pointed out my opinion about a gamblers race.

Greg - there's a Hooters right up the road in Burlington. About 10% of the time that I call Herb, that's where he is. (Just working on track promotions, of course)

Re: IHRA Div. 5 Schedule?
 
Sounds like a good excuse to me!

Actually I was there last night helping raise money for a girl who is 26 with a rare form of Cancer. We helped raise 7k with a silent auction, donation and bake sale. They also assembled 80 bikes in the parking lot then they needed someone to deliver them today, Well you guessed it I volunteered my trailer and my8 year old son a I took 53 bikes in my trailer to Christmas Cheer of Burlington. You will hear more about this group next September at Piedmont as what they do is very nice. So Beard YES I do hang out at Hooters with my GirlFriend, she wont let me go alone. :)

Re: IHRA Div. 5 Schedule?
 
That's very cool, Herb. Good job!

herbjr 12-21-2007 03:10 PM

Re: IHRA Div. 5 Schedule?
 
My son helped me unload the bikes at the place in Burlington, he is the quiet one, he asked me when we left: "Why dont we just go Christmas Shopping at that store" This place has been in business for 80 years in Burlington and work with a total volunteer staff and supply gifts and food for tons of people who cant afford it at Christmas. She gave me the back room tour and they verify every lead they get to make sure the claims are real. Imagine someone would screw one of these places.
