I joke with my D1 buddies all the time, y'all complain about traveling to the "long haul" races they should spend a year down here! For me Orlando(12 hrs) Gainesville(10) SGMP(10) Silver Dollar(9) Bristol(7) Atlanta(8) Charlotte(4.5) Rockingham(4) Galot(1 45).
Come get some of that lol!

The demise of IHRA will probably help d-2 more than any other division due to the number of stock/super stock racers (among others) that raced only IHRA due to the lighter travel requirements. Racers will find somewhere to race and based on the questions I've been getting at our CCRA races I think you will see quite a few more "IHRA" racers converting to NHRA. I for one think Rich is doing a great job, as he has spread out the races away from just Florida and south Georgia as they were under the previous DD. Galot and Rockingham had really good car counts in stock and super stock. Of course the time of year those races were scheduled was perfect for this part of the country too!
