Exactly, so how can he comment on any supposed NHRA BS? Engage brain before speaking.

You beat me to the response. Your much more polite than I would have been !

[Bob Pagano]

Terry every time he posts its negative no matter what thread, most dont even respond to him any more, just a bump in the road.

Myron, your opinion of what you do with your money is worthless and invalid until you go spend a bunch of time and money to do something that you already know that you don't want to do. You obviously have no idea how much significance it carries to pay an entry fee and show up on an NHRA Qualifying Sheet (TM). Anything you may have seen, heard, or researched is null and void until physically experienced yourself. Even if you did participate in NHRA events, as a former IHRA World Champion, your opinion would be rendered null and void.

Fred Johnston has spoken. Whoever that is. Does his name show up on an NHRA Qualifying Sheet (TM) or IHRA Qualifying Sheet (SM)? I've been told that it is of the utmost importance in validating opinions.

You're right, Bob. His post history kind of says it all. There's a productive member of ClassRacer society for ya...

I apologize for participating in the sarcasmfest.

[Charley Downing]

Myron please fill us in on the NHRA BS? What you don't like tearing down at national events?
I still don’t see how it cost less to run IHRA. Entry's are within $25 and the contingency sucks in IHRA as well as NHRA. I think I can win $1800 total if I were to win an IHRA pro am VS Around $3500 total at an NHRA pts. You save what $15 on entry with IHRA.

Congrats Myronie

[Wade Mahaffey]

Wow!, can't we just get along. It's all the same on the track during the eliminator. Get out the shoe polish, hit the tree, and tighten up the stripe. I undrestand the pride that comes with being the fastest car in the land per class. That is really cool and what a real race is all about. However, NHRA and IHRA use a bracket format in the Stock and Super/Stock eliminator with a rare heads-up encounter that could provide an advantage to the faster car. I understand that some folks have worked many years on their combinations. I will never know what it's like to have a race car with twenty years and six digits invested getting wacked by a 20K race operation. The 20K racer will just have to be happy to have wacked a 25K guy. LOL It would be sweet to have it like the old days, fast was king. I don't see that when I review the eliminations results. When I think of racing, NHRA vs.IHRA is not a factor, it's 1320 feet...my program against your program....in a bracket format! I think it's fair to say that everyone does the best that they can do, and that's good enough for me!

Good luck to you all.....support sportsman racing and get out and have some fun....don't let it die!

Listen, I didn't bash IHRA or NHRA. Myron made a point to mention "NHRA BS". Just trying to figure out what he is talking about since he doesn't appear to run NHRA events. How would he know of "NHRA BS" other than what he reads......

[Roger K Fain]

Fred,
Some of the "NHRA BS" Myron is referring to: having to register and pay in advance to attend a National event which requires you to attend three Divisionals to qualify and let them hold your money. If you make the cut for Indy, you have to run .900 under to get in the program. If you are the only one in the class, you don't get paid until you beat all the other orphans in attendance. Oh, and by the way, you get to run at o' dark-thirty in the morning, when all the fans are waiting in line for the spectator gate to open. How about motorhome fees, pit vehicle lisences, and jacking up the entry fees and liabilty insurance fees so you have to pay around $300 for car & driver for a National event.
If you want to run an IHRA event, just show up, join on the spot, pay $135 entry fee, get "teched-in" by friendly, knowledgeable, accomodating officials, and enjoy the competition. If you win, no one will "talk down" to you or make snide remarks that you don,t belong here or your stuff is crap.
