john corcoran jr · 08-08-2010, 10:36 PM

This weekend I was making some license runs at Route 66. While I was there, I was talking to Charlie the track manager. They do run Super Comp and Top Sportsman races on some weekends when they don't run their bracket program and just have a test & tune. I asked if he would be interested runninng some Combo races on those weekends and he said yes. Anybody interested? You can contact me here or at bigjohn3169@aol.com
Thanks,
John Corcoran

John,

Our Buick club used to run some races there in conjunction with their bracket/test days long ago. Heard we were told they didn't want (need?) us anymore. Good luck but we can't even get cars to the IHRA race in Byron for way, way, way more money...

Many will race if the track will hook and NHRA rules are followed. Its 300 miles for me and I would race. It could easily be 40 to 50 cars on any given nite. Scheduling should be done around any local (200 miles radius) Stock /Superstock program currently being offered.

Curious Larry,

What about the IHRA Stock rules would discourage folks from racing?

I would definitely be interested in competing in STK/SS combo races at Rt 66.... hope you can make it happen!!!!!

I won't speak for anyone else, but a 502 in a Vega is not Stock. A 502 Vega is a Street car or a good bracket car. That just me. The people that race these cars are usually good racers, they just don't have what I call a Stocker. I am not a fan of alphabet Superstock.

"Paper Cars" IHRA or NHRA I'm just not a fan.

Racers in this area dont come out for any thing but the NHRA points race. the last ever IHRA race at Byron that paid in the area of $2500. to win drew 17 cars.You didnt even have to have a IHRA membership to enter!!!!
