Pittsburg = IHRA ?

Isn't the National Event planned for this track next year going to be an 1/8 mile event.Could be they are just working up to that. Also, has anyone seen the article in Drag Illustrated with Aaron and Scooter. If you read that, you may get some idea why they are looking to some races on shorter tracks. The article states that Pro Modified, for example, is closer racing with more cars capable of winning on the 1/8 mile than 1/4 mile. Just look at the ADRL deal.The top three or four cars are faster on the second half of the 1/4. The rest of the pack is pretty even on the 1/8 hence more racers with an opportunity to win.

....and next year I'll be looking at my racing schedule for more 1/4 mile tracks[that run 1/4].Love those 2 race weekends but goodbye IHRA 1/8 miles.

Yes but why punish the HR SS and Stk classes.They can run the faster guys at the 1/8 and let the rest of us have more fun.Several of my friends have said they flat out are not going because it is an 8th.Car counts are so far down why make it worse. Wouldnt it be so easy to make everybody happy and run both 1/8th and 1/4.But NOOO its this way or the highway.Well as you can see racers are making a lot of different choices that is why some of the other sanctioning bodies are working and they are sucking off racers and that sucks because it make the two main bodies less fun and exciting for the racers and the fans.Rule number one LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS
