Question for the Super Stock Racer's

[buzzinhalfdozen]

Me and my brother raced IHRA for quite a few years, we absolutely enjoyed ourselves, good tracks good people we never gave a thought to going to an NHRA race. Times as they say have changed, there is not a "decent" IHRA track closer than 5 hours for us, and being as we can race as much as we want staying close to home, well there's your answer.There is really only 1 IHRA race that I would be interested in going to and that's their Martin race, love the track but doesn't make sense to join IHRA for 1 race...that and the last one I went to a couple years ago was an absolute cluster...all due to some poor decision making by my 2 favorite folks. Guess we got spoiled with Norwalk, Milan, Martin, Liecaster NY, (spelling) had a lot of good tracks, now not so much. I for one would love to see IHRA get back to where they were in the 80's & 90's but cannot see it happening any time soon.

Jeff Taylor told me one time "don't pass a race track that is having a race you can race at to go to another race track that is having a race you can race at". So,..........................I guess whatever letter is in front of the HRA will do. I like them both.

Many feel like IHRA's new, or added, classes are bogus too.

What new classes? You mean that they actually have some separate classes for the new factory race cars, instead of forcing them to run against the traditional Stockers like NHRA?

What new classes? Everything in the rulebook is 10-15 years old, or older. Except for the new FI classes for 2008-newer cars in Stock (which NHRA should have done).

Great minds think alike, Michael (we typed the same thing a minute apart).

[Ed Wright]

Crate motors, pure stock, etc.

I don't care, but I have heard some talk about them.

[j gardiner]

If you want to talk about bogus classes nhra is the industry leader in that dept. Even though I love the new cars.

[Ed Wright]

All I'm saying is many think those classes are bogus, and don't care about running with them. It's just become bracket racing anyway with these bogus slow indexes.
I don't care myself, since I have pretty much retired, the NHRA races require buying more diesel than I care to anyway.

Why are they bogus? Pure stock is theost legit class in all of class racing.

I agree
