I can tell you why. Fans here want PRO STOCK-Pro MOD. Fans here want racing and don't give a crap about grace digger racing a rocket powered smart car.
They will put a NJ race in canada because 40,000 people show up.
What I thought was interesting is PBIR not on the schedule for a NJ or a pro-am. HHHMMM

Chip ill never understand why IHRA got away from Pro Stock and Pro Mod. I remember one year in San Antonio at a National they had alot of Pro Mods. I went and looked it up. March 2006 they had 33 Pro Mods at that race. Plus they had Pro Stock and Top Fuel. Now last year I actually liked the Fuel Altereds and Nostalgia Funny Cars(crazy bastards) but they need to bring back Pro Stock and Pro Mod. That said anyone who went to the Nitro Jam in SA last year will tell you it was packed and I mean packed. The place was full and the cars were still lined up on the access road waiting to get in. Ed
