ahra resurection

No.1 The AHRA as of 2006 was active at only one track....Seattle and it's bracket racing only, also someone out there owns the "AHRA" trade mark and we would have to "rent" it from him.

No.2 NHRA racers are generally traditionalists hence the disregard for 1/8th mile racing plus there are changes to their cars that would have to be made...gears, torque convertor, etc.

No. 3 The plus for 1/8th mile is less wear and tear on the car, the race goes a little faster due to the time for the turn around being quicker.

No. 4 I don't see how running 1/8th mile would cause anyone to have to get "used' to running it. I must be wrong but I thought drag racing was simple....launch the car with your foot on the floor and keep it there until you pass the finish line whether it's 1/8 or 1/4. Heck, if you race 1/4 mile then you are already racing 1/8th mile.

Just my thoughts
