thanks IHRA nitro jam --- no stock/ss at several races!

every time i think IHRA is moving in the right direction something like this happens. Oh well, still going to run as much IHRA as I can this year

Ouch.... I could possibly see not having S/SS at Tucson and Rocky Mountain if there are few cars in those divisions or venues (I have no idea whats happening out that way, I'm from the Midwest), but no S/SS at PITTSBURGH??? I'm really stretching to find the justification here....

Yeah.....The management isnt to smart ! Dumb aZZes

Could pit space be a possible reason?
I was only there once several years and don't recall if they have the space. There was talk a while back of making more room and a "national" event, but don't know if they did expand any. Otherwise, I was surprised as was a friend who lives in Pittsburgh.

Plenty of pit area on the left side. So that's not it

I'm curious how they can run a IHRA event at a NHRA track in Tucson. Ashcroft in BC announced a AHRA event last year when they were still a NHRA track and lost their NHRA sanction.

Thomas,

Everytime IHRA has a chance to hit a home run, they always end up Striking Out ... Who is making all these bad calls & why ?
Come on guys , I thought you were for sportsmen racing ???

Pittsburgh knows that they can pack the place with ET racers and Jr's. The regulars will also bring more spectators/fans with them that would not normally come to the races. If they have the rest of the classes, alot of the weekly regulars/local folks would stay away and thus their friends "aka paying fans" would be absent. just my opinion. Happy New Year.

Bob, Ashcroft did run under the AHRA for 2010, but that turned out to be quite a flop, so at the end of the season, Ashcroft, Prince George, & I believe Kelowna, all switched to IHRA for 2011. However, I think all 3 tracks are going to run basically a bracket program, with no divisional meets that would include Stock & S/S, like a NHRA LODRS race, or National Open do. I guess we will see you at Mission in May then, Eh?
