That's a great way for Mountain Park (and IHRA) to get some crossovers who are close to an IHRA track but otherwise concentrate their time and $ on running NHRA. However, I don't see this on MP's website or IHRA's...is this something that may be offered at other events? Think this is a really good way to improve IHRA car counts...I would definitely run Jackson if they offer it since I'll be back in GA by then, but not; unfortunately, in time to run at Clay City.

They did this at the Byron Dragway pro-am a couple weeks ago.
Everyone should try to go to Clay City. It is always a good race and you are treated really well there. Big crowds, big fireworks show.

On DRC it looks like pretty slim car counts, a few NHRA racers but didn't offset the larger numbers from Carolinas (many with CM cars) that didn't make the tow over. I realize the payout/entry fee ratio is not the best given lower contingency postings but it still seems like they would have pulled better numbers. Personally, I hope their car counts improve and think their classes give more people a chance to race beyond their local tracks.

I've been to the event a couple times. Missing this year, as it's the only vacation my wife has except Christmas, so we're visiting family.
...But I did steal her '08 Charger 3.5L for today, and am sitting in the lanes at Dragway 42. Ran 16.63 @ 86 mph! Needs more gear. ![]()

We would have been there with three cars but for a mechanical issue with one of our tow vehicles that didn't get repaired in time for us to make it for the Saturday race. And no point making an 8 hour tow for one event for us . . . we are disappointed we weren't able to make it.
