Double up Races

We like the double headers, also helps with the attendance at some of the more remote tracks like Acton.

Whether you are talking Divisional races or Association combo races good deal. Best bang for the buck, one tow and two races. What's not to like.

NHRA are you listening to the people !!!!

Double up races have their place but I would not want all of them to be double. Some of us still have to work for a living and taking more days off of work to get there on Wednesday can be an issue at times. Plus if you have a problem with the race car or the tow rig you miss 2 races. Here in D2 we have a regular divisional and the an open on Sunday most every race. That’s a real nice deal here.

I bet if you look back at comments when IHRA started doing that, most probably thought it was a bad idea. If you break, you may lose out on runnung two races, have to make changes to your car to run different class the second race if you don't like where you qualified, may have to run the same people two days in a row, etc.

Chris, I don't understand your comments. What class does your car run?

Love the doubles !!!

I think the post speaks for itself. IHRA did doubles on its Pro-Am tour for several years for divisionals.
I believe they started around 2007 or 2008 when fuel prices were high then. All I was saying was that alot of regular nhra stock/super stock racers at that time didn't seem to be too keen on that when IHRA started it as nhra kept singles. Now it seems as if more nhra racers are finally coming to the realization it's a pretty good idea.
Not that it should matter, but I raced in IHRA stock for many years.
