I went to Nashville and raced with Chet Fincke’s NHRA GTG car. I recalll 24 cars and about half were IHRA only cars. It also appeared that the Stock Superstock combo was one of the largest fields there so the event was light all over.
Now, I am not an 1/8th mile fan, but it isn’t the end of the world to go. I really wanted the grade point so I went.
I agree, anyone with an IHRA only combo should go. I didnt know that PUre Stockers we’re not in the mix. If I had an IHRA car, I sure would do anything to support the only race space around d2 land. I would also consider trying to step up a pure stocker to run a stock index to at least go play. Or perhaps get the massive number of pure stock racers to band together and commit to showing up if they would let you in. They need cars period. I bet you could work it out if it was more than a few cars.
By the way, there was an IHRA SS Stick Car there in Nashville that won. Really nice car too. He was glad to have a place to race.
I think that all of us as racers need to be not so quick to bash any DD or track owner efforts to accommodate IHRA racers. Too many go straight to the negative. It isn’t helpful to the sport.
