Bradenton goes IHRA

C and W Racing · 12-08-2011, 04:51 PM

My opinion, it will not end up having a great car count. All of the northern racers that Bradenton has attracted the last few years will have gone back north. They come down to get their racing season underway. But coming down and staying thru 3 NHRA division races and the Gators, don't see that happening. They may come for Imm. but that would be it. Economy being what it is, no one can afford this much racing in such a short time. I guess we will see.

Welcome back, Bradenton. I'd like to go to their race, if there's not a Div. 9 race scheduled on top of it. Although in the past, I have skipped a Div. 9 race to go to a Div. 2 double-header 5 hrs further away. If they were on different weekends, I would've gone to both.

Alex,
Insurance and track prep is cheaper. Plus here in the south most people like 1/8th mile racing.
