IHRA going back to class racing

[JP1738]

Isn't that the point of the collab? WDRA has tracks all over the place, they outnumber IHRA 2-1 at least. I reckon this will mean WDRA oversees the local bracket stuff while IHRA gets permission to host National events and pro-ams at WDRA sanctioned tracks.

They don’t

They don't get permission to host pro-ams at WDRA facilities? If that's the case, I'm with you. The partnership makes no sense.

I only know of four in the NHRA D1 area. Empire, Beaver Springs, US 13 and MIR

I googled it the other day.

NHRA 120 member track
IHRA 100 tracks
WDRA 60 tracks.

Carl,
I don't think Empire has ever been NHRA. They seem to be neither IHRA or NHRA over the last couple years. I do hear rumors that Empire is considering IHRA. We will see. Ray

I?ve never raced at Empire, just no reason too but I have raced at the otter tracks and would never put either one of my cars on the track at Beaver.

MIR or US13 would be good places to host an IHRA/WDRA event if/when the day comes. I believe MIR used to host IHRA Pro-Am races back in "the day." I was there for the first time this year. Definitely will go back again. I've heard good things about US13. "The Beav" I have mixed feelings about. While it is a neat old track that I've been to quite a few times, the starting line is usually pretty good, and the owner and his son are real nice people, I would like to see a barrier at the edge of the racing surface, rather than having a pretty wide section of grass, and then a guardrail.

Ed,
You have a PM. Feel free to share it.

I guess I didn't word it right, the 4 tracks I mentioned are the only four in the NHRA D1 area that are either IHRA or WDRA. Empire looks like a nice track, but yes, they've always been IHRA.
