The Nitro Jam event that will be held at SIR in Tucson and other locations is not an IHRA event. It is a Feld Entertainment event....and there is a difference.

[Chris1529]

has anyone else talked to IHRA or the folks at Pittsburgh about this matter?

Well, aren't you just a ray of sunshine!

Guess you don't want to talk about the all the issues NHRA has, like traction at Phoenix, sportsman racers at Gainesville a few years back.....I could go on & on. It's not an easy job for either sanctioning body. Let NHRA become the only game in town and we'll see if things would get any better.

[Myron Piatek]

Times are tough, both sanctioning bodies have their strong points and weak points, and I see both sides. You are obviously one-sided slamming IHRA without admitting to NHRA's "circus". Biggest problem IHRA has is the lack of support from more NHRA regulars. We'll see if NHRA makes it through the year without any more controversey. They have a pretty good track record in the last few years.


.....or were you just quoting Doug Herbert's opinion, but not necessarily yours?

Since this is a Stock/SS forum, let's stick to Stock/SS. One of the reasons for the lack of support from more NHRA regulars may have to do with the fact that some of the IHRA "regulars" have a tough time making it through a real teardown.

To sorta quote you...They have a pretty lousy track record in the last few years (when it comes to teardown).

Excuse me? What "fact" is that? What IHRA regulars are having a tough time making it through teardown? Your assertion is not only incorrect, but offensive. I know guys like Myron and I go through almost every year.

Sorry, don't buy it. The NHRA regulars didn't come when IHRA was at its height and teardowns were more regular, either. The people that come over and race in IHRA generally enjoy themselves. Those that don't simply don't WANT to, for whatever reason. That's their decision, their loss. Enough blowing smoke.

Some of you need something else to do, what a bunch of crap. Do you hear Dan Fletcher bitchen? No he runs both where and when he can fit it in his schedule. l

[Bart Kilraine]

Original topic....no stock/ super stock @ Pittsburgh ,We don't go! Why I don't go to the points meets @ Maple Grove and the Dutch Classic,...they can't get everything done in 3 days. I can run IHRA points meet saturday and sunday and finish 2 complete races...I don't care about cars counts,more classes,.ect.ect. I'll repete, I get 2 races in !

Like to hear more about these ,supposed,IHRA racers not passing tech. Iknow the Worners,Fletchers,Linkes,Bagley,Cupp and others have had no problems. So who has it been?
