Double up Races

B Parker · 10-09-2022, 02:18 PM

With the high car counts in St Louis is it a sign we would like more double races. With fuel prices rising again and no end in sight I certainly would like to see more races that are double's. What do you racers think. BP

We like the double races and will try to attend more.

They really help our budget and time off problems!

They work for me!

We like the double headers, also helps with the attendance at some of the more remote tracks like Acton.

Whether you are talking Divisional races or Association combo races good deal. Best bang for the buck, one tow and two races. What's not to like.

NHRA are you listening to the people !!!!

Double up races have their place but I would not want all of them to be double. Some of us still have to work for a living and taking more days off of work to get there on Wednesday can be an issue at times. Plus if you have a problem with the race car or the tow rig you miss 2 races. Here in D2 we have a regular divisional and the an open on Sunday most every race. That’s a real nice deal here.

I bet if you look back at comments when IHRA started doing that, most probably thought it was a bad idea. If you break, you may lose out on runnung two races, have to make changes to your car to run different class the second race if you don't like where you qualified, may have to run the same people two days in a row, etc.

Chris, I don't understand your comments. What class does your car run?
