IHRA division 9 schedule

Tracy Robbins · 12-02-2009, 09:41 AM

The division 9 schedule is up on the website. I think it's a good move completing the race on Saturday and having Sunday as a rain day. I guess if you want to set a record you come in Friday w/ the heads off.

wow, if your running D9 your done by July, interesting.

Michael Lyons · 12-02-2009, 12:02 PM

Whatta ya mean done by July?
You got probly Pittsburgh, and Maryland in August and Darlington and Epping in Sept. Not to mention a reasonable drive w/o the $100 in tolls for Virginia in Oct, where a lucky few will get to run 3 races in one weekend :P Seems to me if you live in NC, you're in the cat birds seat as far as running IHRA..

About time IHRA realized where the majority of their members live.
You also left out the div 1 races which will probably be Richmond-VMP-MIR.
Div 2 which includes Carolina dragway.
Epping is a bit far abround 900 miles though.
The down side to div 9 is we don't have the luxury of DOUBLES. Which means you only have to race 4 weekends where we have to go 8.
+'s and -'s for us all.
Thank you IHRA for looking out for ALL racers

I like the Saturday races as well. In looking at the schedule, Mooresville is listed as the 24th and 25th of April which is a Saturday/Sunday. In reading the post it seems as though Rockingham was the only "Sunday" race. Is that correct?

what are all us Michigan, Ohio racers.. chopped liver? :P lol

Marc Kinton · 12-02-2009, 02:01 PM

rockingham will be a traditional fri-sat-sun race, all others will be fri saturday including sportsnationals at piedmont. We are pretty dang close to putting together class sponsors for div. 9 as well that will add to the division champion total. I think there will also be a sports natls at Richmond Dragway. Satch and the tracks did a pretty good job with the sched. it appears to me.

Marc,
The only thing I don't like is going to Farmington in March. It's usually way to cold. I like the Saturday races too. Will there be anything going on Fridays?
I'm also glad they added Dunn Benson really nice place, and it's only 35 miles from my house.
I am blessed
Dunn-35 miles
Rockingham- 50 miles
Darlington 100 miles
Piedmont- 100 miles
Coastal Plains-100 miles
Mooresville 125 miles
Farmington- 130 miles
VMP- 180
Richmond- 200?
Carolina Dragway-200?
MIR-305

Michael ,
You can move down here, and hang with me. It's not to bad Beard did it. Instead of chopped Liver you could be PULLED PORK.
