What are the Features Advantages and Benefits running NHRA?
Pain, long waits, tight parking, nitty (cranky) tech inspectors.
Stock is an after thought..


What are the Features Advantages and Benefits running IHRA?
A lot more fun than NHRA...!
More Class Variety, Friendlier Staff, two races in a weekend.
More relaxing, free Bench Racing, good food.
When you need a help you got it !

Just revving up the commentary again !!

You forgot the part where you get home earlier from an IHRA race because there were 60 cars total.

The Div4 NHRA guys are all very friendly. All call me by name, very friendly group. If your car is right, tech is a snap. I have raced both, I have not seen one more friendly than the other.

IHRA and NHRA are both great sanctioning bodies to race with. Neither one is without their faults and depending upon what region of the country you live in, one or the other may be best for you. There are alot of other sanctioning bodies and associations trying to attract racers as well. I raced at the NMRA in Maple Grove last year as they had a stock/superstock combo. NMCA looks to be putting on a good show this year too. There are alot of options available to everyone. You pick and choose when and where you can race.

I agree with most on here that if you wanted to race NHRA, then don't build a CM car or a pure stock. Even if NHRA did do those classes, they would still cost alot of money to compete in them. There would not be any $3000 Crate motors, or drive-it-to the-track pure stockers.

One thing I wish is that so many people would quit bashing IHRA. How can they possibly start to thrive or grow if everyone out there is constantly bad mouthing everything they try to do? At the same time, IHRA racers don't need to complain about NHRA.

Come out to a race sometime and see. You can have a good time, meet some good folks, see different cars, and mark another track off your bucket list.

Maybe Mike Dunn needs to bring back the IHRA....and Damn Proud of it slogan.
