Apparently the #1 isn't good enough

At Norwalk, If you don't have a number which is the case for many of the Sportsman/Street cars, then you just shoe polish the number from your tech card on your window. Same goes for Milan. This is how it has always been for me. Sounds like many of you guys are flat out getting screwed over.

Unless you are running for track points where you have to have , other than making an easy $10, why would a track have to sell a number? The tracks that I have raced at for cars that don't have a number, they just assign one to the drivers when they come through the gate and as mannyman said, they just put it on the car in shoe polish.

here is what is on the Kanawha Valley Dragway (from my state) website:
ATTENTION POINTS RACERS

Points Racers – You must have an X number issued by IHRA in order to compete in the

Summit SuperSeries and attend the Bracket Finals.

The numbers are FREE. Contact Donna Harper 419-660-4219

That $10 is just cash going in the owner's pocket.

Dustin sent me a link that states that Pacific is now (2011) honoring NHRA numbers. I may go there again now, LOL

And this is why the Pro ET racers at Bandimere are glad he moved to the Northwest. He pretty much dominated the class a couple of years ago. Nice job Brad!

First off, welcome to the Burtons. NW Bracket racers are the best in the world!

Second, are you guys kidding me about not going to a track because you have to pay ten bucks? What are you boiling water for ramen as we speak? We're drag racing, not raising gold fish!
