July IHRA Sportsman Newsletter

What a well written letter. I predominantly race NHRA in Super Comp and race ET racing at my local tracks. I have run a couple of IHRA races. When I race in SC I enjoy the fact that we are put on a ladder and it is predetermined who we race base on R1 times. (I would prefer to Qualify during TT and be on a ladder from the start, BUT I digress, I raced back when Super Gas started and it was that way). I like the distinction between random pairing in the lanes (for Brackets) and a ladder for SC. There is just too much going on in the staging lanes to try and get a certain spot in a certain lane (for many reasons). I enjoyed the racing at the IHRA events but felt like I went back in time.
