Re: Question Please
Instead of telling class racers they are scared or they will get their ***** kicked, why don't you wake up and grow up.....people do things because they WANT TO for their own enjoyment or pleasure......including RACING FOR THE FUN OF IT !!! NOBODY is going to get rich or famous either way.

Re: Question Please
Chip,
I don't think they are scared , because they get there butts kicked in NHRA & IHRA .... I also think they do much more racing in brackets than you will ever know.... They just don't brag about it & keep a low profile ... As Greg & others say they don't like some of the rules , Boxes,no-box, buy-backs,staging lane games, etc.... But, they do go bracket racing and do pretty well ... Lot's of NHRA guys don't like 1/8 mile or IHRA either, but they doesn't mean they are scared.. Lot's of good racers never go to National / Div. events .... You see it's all about having choices on where & when to race, thank God we still have some choice's ... As we have said before there are great racers in both NHRA & IHRA ... It's just too bad more of them don't cross-over more often... I know that in most cases there aren't IHRA tracks close by for alot of racers. Choice's & the $$$$$$ are hurting racing & tracks ....

Re: Question Please
here's why I'm building a stocker, there's a chance at running a headsup race where there,s NO chance of a headsup in brackets.
plus it seems like a challenge to run something with rules attached (that's why all the stupid "legal" questions from me...) |

Re: Question Please
Gary Stinnett World Champ in S/C, runs a Superstocker and occasionally a Stocker!
All one needs to do is atttend an East Coast Stock/Superstock Association race or an All-Star Racing Association race to see the car counts and how successful both organizations are! |

Re: Question Please
How can you have a fair heads-up class run when one car is at NHRA weight and the other is at IHRA weight (different HP factors)? Apples & orange's.

Re: Question Please
Bobby Z.,
The ASRA policy on ihra/nhra factors is that the nhra class and factor is what we go by unless it is an ihra only class. So we use nhra hp factors You can't run fuel inj classes and trucks run with cars as per nhra, but pure stockers are welcome to run pure stock. same with crate motor cars. Just passing on ideas that work for us. Dave
