Anybody that thinks it is easier needs to show up for an IHRA race. If you can't win an NHRA race, you aren't likely to win an IHRA race. Same cars, just normally not as many of them. If you find the Folks, Emmons and Cummings guys easy I want to shake your hand. Last couple of years (can't say about before that) IHRA track prep has been equal, some of the best startng lines I have been on. Many know I don't have big tires and a four link, my low-dollar stock suspension and 10.5" tire car won't always hook just anywhere. Tech seems about the same to me, biggest difference is I have to have a fire extinguisher in the car for IHRA, NHRA asks me to take it out when I run with them. Big deal. Oh, and IHRA didn't give the last 4 hp to the SS LT1, so I get to pull 40 lbs, that doesn't make racing the shoe polish bottle any easier.
Still can't outrun Sonny's red Dodge at 40 lbs lighter. I see than thing in my sleep.
