Wasn't there supposed to be a IHRA National this weekend?
 

Or did IHRA cancel it due to lack of participation?

Thought I read something about a Pro Stock strike.

Yes the IHRA race is going on in Edmonton, Alberta , canada as scheduled.... July 4 -6 .....yes rumor of prostock boycot was due to high travel costs....no prostock qualifying posted as of friday afternoon so we will wait & see who showed up afterall

Re: Wasn't there supposed to be a IHRA National this weekend?
 

There is but as per IHRA schedule, no qualifying for all traditional catagories but there is a King of the hill for electronic/non electric ET cars. I guess someone put a S/SS combo race that they are running today. Pros get one qualifying run today. The rest of the sportsman classes qualify tommorow. Looks like the IHRA P/S cars boycotted the race as per the qualifying results.

Are we having a pool to guess the winners? I take Bob Bertsch to win Pro Stock and also for low ET and Top Speed. :)

You mean to say they aren't running any of the traditional IHRA classes? Stock, SS, or the .90 classes and Top Sportsman/Dragster?

So it's a bracket race with a top fuel show and today they didn't even get that?

Re: Wasn't there supposed to be a IHRA National this weekend?
 

All the traditional classes are qualifying today (Saturday). From what I was told, there are approx 12 Stockers and 12 Super Stockers in attendance. I guess last night the skys opened up and the weather forcast for the rest of the weekend doesn't look great either.

where,s the traction or is it the altitude,not very quick times for the pro mods or the alcohol f/c .1 pro stock 12 stockers and 12 s/stockers yea cancel the toronto event and run that 1,800 miles event with no turn out makes no sense to me.............

Track altitude 2400'

there's probably a lot of things that dont make sense when you are not here to actually know whats going on . everything is going great here even if we had some rain. tomorrow should make for some great racing. the fans are definately supportive up here as well as the canadian racers.
