Well, I guess since that's a 3-4 hour road trip for me. No love lost there if IHRA cars, other than "traditional" stockers are allowed.

With my luck, by the time I get my car ready, the S/SS combo meets will be dying out. That's been my luck with hobbies, by the time I'm ready to play, the playgrounds are closing up. I do have regrets since trying to get back into racing, wish we hadn't quit 20 years ago. Life takes different turns for all of us.

If I had my car ready, it'd be coming to the meets, running under the index or not. Until a car gets sorted out, EVERY pass is a practice pass. Besides everyone loves a first round gimmee, don't they?
