I think IHRA is much better. I don't understand more guys not running with them. Same rules, indexes and for the most part the cars. Their money spends, I'm told. Haven't collected any myself to know for sure so far. In SS they have some different classes, but so far I have not seen a car run any of them. It's the same guys as the NHRA races around here. Just not as many. They have treated me very well. Very friendly people.
NHRA is the same way to me, but I have known Chuck Nelson and Wesley for over 30 years. Div 4 races been kinda like a reunion since I have tried to come back. I know I'm not "back" yet, but maybe I'll finally make it past the 3rd round at a race this summer.

Yes they are GREAT people at IHRA. Even though I retired quite a few years ago I still feel like its "HOME" when I go to the Presidents Cup race here in Md. Bill Bader was one of the best and the crew I worked with where like family. I do think they should combine the FI cars with the older cars like NHRA has done.
