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.

that's a piss poor excuse and its one step closer to making the Nitro Jams a traveling "pro only" side show using a regular bracket program as filler.

that looks like it what they are going to do. The same as the monster truck thunder jam. I don't think any of us like it, but the stone is gathering momentum.
