But, I built my car to travel with and compete, not to sit in the garage. If I had 30 years of Stock Eliminator racing under my belt, I may feel the same way. I dont agree with the increases, double standards, afhs as well as several other things. I'm not going to bracket race locally and I dont have the IHRA alternative at this moment.
If NHRA is operating illegally, we, the racers, can only hope for the best of what will happen. I dont want them to fold, pass on more increases, etc. But, I do want to race and will continue to as money allows.
You can see where I'm coming from, cant ya?

I sure can Wade, which is why I'm looking forward (even more so now) to tomorrows S.I.R. racer meeting. As per "Skooter Peaco" (Vice President of Race Operations for IHRA), there are other tracks that are looking forward to the aftermath of this meeting, because if S.I.R. does join IHRA, then it could entice other tracks to chime in as well (I'm certain one or more near to you also)? Although I've been involved with this sport for 36 years, these last two haven't provided me much to crow about (two div.'s and one "Jeg's" natl. event). If we weren't the ones paying for the lions share of their expenses (with our increased cost's of competition), I'd have been able to do more (like you and others who can relate).
I'm certain that Skooter Peaco, (the rest of the IHRA), and heck even the powers that be at NASCAR, will be watching to see how this all goes down as well???
