Re: IHRA for 2018
I tried for 3 years 1997-1999 by starting and running the Super Class Outlaws along with a group of very nice people, whom I am grateful to this day. The main problem was that I could not get it to grow because people were afraid of NHRA, and there supposedly tech issues if you raced with SCO. I even contacted then Division Director Jay Hullinger, who went as far as to furnish me with ladder sheets, etc., and endorsed our series as long as we didn't conflict with there schedule. We had a points fund, year end banquet, which paid 4 places in both S/C & S/G. We had cook outs at several events, most of which were 2 days at the same track, and a great time was had by all as far as I know. We started with a yearly membership fee, which we dropped the second year, sent out a monthly news letter to participants. I guess the summary is after 3 years of trying to give racers an alternative place to race, investing in excess of $6000.00 of my own money, I was left with no choice but to pull the plug. I wish to this day that I would have succeeded, but I did not. I wish each and every one of you the very best as you continue to pursue your racing dreams. Thanks to everyone that ran with us, it was a real pleasure for me.

Re: IHRA for 2018
Dick, I remember that series and I ran as much as I could and what work would allow. I enjoyed it very much. Now maybe the time is right to try it again. I would join again and help any way I can if you would want to try it again. You know how to do it that is for sure.
