LNorton · 12-18-2007, 03:08 PM

Id love to see Div 9 right about now.

It's just south of you, Lee. ;-) I doubt you'll see any major changes in Div.9

LNorton · 12-19-2007, 12:29 AM

Yea, I doubt to see any changes, but if they keep it the same I would expect to see Piedmont on top of my graduation...

Trying to have a schedule together for sponsor proposals to send in a few weeks.

Just a quick question....WTF is up with IHRA this year? I have already turned in my vacc request for next year! This is the first time in 7 years I haven't had the IHRA schedule in time for it! Soooo.....looks like I'm going to run all NHRA races.....March Mem. April indy May norwalk not a thing in June! July looks like col. & maybe stanton....Aug. bowling green September col. Oct. atlanta. & indy fall classic.....MORE then enough races!!!!

Dave,

WIR, Dakota Flat Track, Thunder Valley, and US 41 are all still IHRA tracks. And never say never. Many tracks switch back and forth between the sanctioning bodies over the years. And Byron is not what I would call a Div. 3 track. You hardly supported races even when gas was cheap. Alex and Tony did a phenomenal job helping to promote those races. I do feel that disbanding the Div. for one year took a major toll on it.

You'd never have a "northern Div. 9", in the midwest because you don't have that many tracks close together, and you don't have the population density. Besides, we've only got 5 races, all of which are singles.

"You Want The Truth??? You Can't Handle The Truth !!! " Didn't Jack Nicholson say that in some movie ???
