IHRA Pro Am schedule posted

Yeah, it took me like at least 30 minutes to get in on Saturday morning about that time.

Also, it could very well be snowing May 1st at Thompson, or being Ohio, it could be 80!

I can say that I have been hearing two things about Thompson Raceway.........Everyone is saying that the traction is very good and that they made a wise decision going 1/8th mile for this race. I for one can't wait to find out!

I went to an NSCA race at Thompson in '07 to run the Jeg's S/SS race. Track seemed to be in great shape then in my opinion. I think it was in August, so it was pretty hot too. They had some "street" cars there running 200 mph in the 1/4. At the finish line, the track starts to drop off, so you do have to be careful. The return road kind of winds itself back like clay city.
I don't remember what kind of scales they have. Track is also out in the country too (compared to alot we go to) -unless I went the wrong way to get there!

I would bet more for snow than heat on May 1st. Its sort of close to nowhere. Alot of the roads have an extra lane to the right with a green trail down the middle of it, if you know what I mean LOL Be Carefull towing you might run up on a buggy at any minute.I hope IHRA re-sets the roll-out cause last yr. the 60' were at least .03 quick and the roll-out was about .040 loser than any other track. I have a budddy who does very well up there. These numbers were confirmed through him. 1/8 mile was a no-brainer.

I see they have once again stacked the Div. 9 races. Still a TBA date though.
