IHRA Div. 5 Schedule?

LNorton · 12-18-2007, 03:08 PM

Id love to see Div 9 right about now.

It's just south of you, Lee. ;-) I doubt you'll see any major changes in Div.9

LNorton · 12-19-2007, 12:29 AM

Yea, I doubt to see any changes, but if they keep it the same I would expect to see Piedmont on top of my graduation...

Trying to have a schedule together for sponsor proposals to send in a few weeks.

Just a quick question....WTF is up with IHRA this year? I have already turned in my vacc request for next year! This is the first time in 7 years I haven't had the IHRA schedule in time for it! Soooo.....looks like I'm going to run all NHRA races.....March Mem. April indy May norwalk not a thing in June! July looks like col. & maybe stanton....Aug. bowling green September col. Oct. atlanta. & indy fall classic.....MORE then enough races!!!!

Dave,

WIR, Dakota Flat Track, Thunder Valley, and US 41 are all still IHRA tracks. And never say never. Many tracks switch back and forth between the sanctioning bodies over the years. And Byron is not what I would call a Div. 3 track. You hardly supported races even when gas was cheap. Alex and Tony did a phenomenal job helping to promote those races. I do feel that disbanding the Div. for one year took a major toll on it.

You'd never have a "northern Div. 9", in the midwest because you don't have that many tracks close together, and you don't have the population density. Besides, we've only got 5 races, all of which are singles.

"You Want The Truth??? You Can't Handle The Truth !!! " Didn't Jack Nicholson say that in some movie ???

Face it all the '07 IHRA Div.5 events (Byron,Mich131 & Osceola) were in Div.3 anyway....So why not just terminate Div.5 once & for all and add all those events to a new bigger expanded '08 IHRA Div.3 schedule??? What's the point in trying to keep Div.5 alive hanging on by thumbnails and tarnishing all the good memories of Div.5 Commander Alex & Tony Dennysenko worked so hard for from 2000-2004 when they got Bill Bader to move IHRA west to begin with in the first place. Merry X-Mas & Happy Holidays.

Unless IHRA is going to have Pro-Am's again back in the original Div.5 confinds of Wis,Iowa,S.D. ect again this comming season.... Why not just combine divisions 3 & 5 for 2008 & stop all the pain & suffering of having to watch Div.5 die a slow death track by track does that make too much sense or not ???
