Re: What would U change @ IHRA
Before I go and say this you guys should know how much I like Stock and Super Stok classes. I would have to say IHRA and maybe NHRA would drop Stock and Super stock way before they would give up T/S or T/D. Theres no rules to speak of except safety. The same goes for the 90 classes. Less paper work, less keeping track of specs, less tech people involved, etc. Just less headaches (HP factors,records, teardowns,fuel check, weight, etc.). All you need is a LARGE WALLET to race in T/D and T/S (Now Im gonna catch it). Face facts.....a large engine in an SFI certified chassis, a license, and a blower or nitrious are all thats needed. $100,000 minmum is the usual cost of a T/S sitting on the starting line ready to run. The spectators like the fast classes, Pro Stock look alike, and there are NO throttle stops, timers and crap like that so its balls out from the get go. If it wasnt for the number of entries that the 90 classes bring in I dont think they would be around because of spectator interest (which is ZERO). Those classes are a racer class. They are just not interesting to the general public going to a race. This is in no way meant to down play any certian class but to give food for thought. Just because one does or does not like a paticular class dosent mean it will be dropped. Its NUMBERS (car count), spectator interest, and $$$$ that gets the racing association interest. Class cars (specs and rules) are becoming extinct little by little. Its a changing market.Thats all I have to say.
You can beat me up now.
