Lucas Oil Schedule is Up on DRC

Andys dad · 11-16-2011, 02:23 AM

How about an IHRA race in Bakersfield?

If they can refuse a divisional race maybe they are not owned by NHRA

Danny Waters - get on it

IHRA must have races closer than 2000 miles to So Cal

IHRA has to quit being an east coast and mid-west association

IHRA give us a choice here on the west coast

Hold the race in conflict with an NHRA race and see if we go to your IHRA race at Bakersfield or some NHRA race hundreds of miles away

This is IHRA's window of opportunity - take it - jump at the chance

:-) peace

Tracks and sponsors will follow the racers. No demand, no change. YOU are in control.

Looks like if you guys truly want another option, now is the time to petition your tracks.

Not really sure what you mean by petition the tracks ? could you explain that part a little better please !! thx
Is it just signatures to ask for another venue ?

Sorry, "petition" was used as a verb.... simply put: If you want to see IHRA at your track out west, then take the time to let them know that.

Salt lake had a race the week after Fallon. That seems like a really good week if you want to get two races out of a long trip. No one can complain about not having IHRA out west if they don't show up to the events. Until the traveling racers actually show a commitment to IHRA out here why would the track owners/ operators take a chance to lose lots of money when their local racers will Support them?

The only way Bakersfield has an IHRA race is to become an IHRA track. Look at Tucson they only wanted a nitro jam and NHRA wouldn't allow it no matter what. Also, there are two IHRA tracks within 2000 miles of SoCal and I doubt there will be a scheduling conflict with Vegas again unless NHRA changes dates late.

If you want IHRA out here so bad you have to support it so if there is a conflict you decide. We drove over 2000 miles to VMP instead of the 100 to Firebird, granted it was a once in a life time opportunity but you show your support with where you race, not coming on the computer complaining about how you are treated but continuing to support the craziness.

D1 has the most races, and the shortest season. D7 has the longest season, the least amount of races and the most traveling between them. SoCal is where it all began and it seems like the first place it will end. Sad.............................very sad.

I'm not sure who Danny Waters is, but I can say that with Paul (Jody) Plummer, Brian Sanderson, and my help to increase this years turn out for the Salt Lake City Nitro Jam race, next years event will be a regular national event with spot in the World Finals race going to the winners in all of the sportsman categories!!!

IHRA must have races closer than 2000 miles to So Cal

Not only is the Salt Lake City race closer than that, but even San Antonio, Tx. is closer, and they're going to get that big Summit Sportsman Spectacular next season, and I'll give you (at least), $5,000 reasons you should attend it (per each sportsman class)!!!

IHRA has to quit being an east coast and mid-west association

They are, and Skooter Peaco (Vice President of Race Operations), is willing to talk with you and anyone else interested in hearing what IHRA is trying to bring out west...call him at (419) 663-6666...he's a vp, and I've talked with him just as easily as I have with my racing buds here on this site...you think Glendora's vp would do that? NOT!!!

IHRA give us a choice here on the west coast

Stay tuned to IHRA.com, because as they release their 2012 schedule, those choices will be disclosed for us, but rest assure, Tucson, San Antonio, and Salt Lake City are just the beginning for us westerners!!!

Hold the race in conflict with an NHRA race and see if we go to your IHRA race at Bakersfield or some NHRA race hundreds of miles away

I hope you saw the inserts I placed within your quotes, IHRA is making strides to get out our way, and the news will be released on their website (just like they did last Friday with the announcement of an IHRA Div. 7). Call Skooter if you want to, but keep reading the IHRA.com website, or this site, as either I, Matt Hawk (btw CONGRATS ON YOUR NO-BOX WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WIN, AND THAT $20K IN CASH AND PRIZES MATT!!!), and or Michael Beard, et.al., will be posting something about them here in the near future....HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!!!
