Bradenton goes IHRA

[Mike Taylor 3601]

Jim,
I need more than a100',can't put enough gear in back to use all four gears in 100'. When I was a kid I had a go kart geared that low though, yeah that's right my go kart had a stick in it!
I hope to at least double my race shedule from last year(one weekend), within 2 weeks of starting the season.Remodel project has drywall hung won't be long now.
Hope to head south in the spring and get early start.

Damn I thought s/ss ran 1000', that's where I see most of them shut it off.

I accept this award on behalf of all fellow sarcastic racers out there. It appears my comment was a thread killer Chip.

wow, I didn't mean to start all this with my comment. My point was that if the people running IHRA stopped long enough to think about "what can we do to attract NHRA racers vs what might we be doing that turns them off?" that racing 1/8 mile at a 1/4 mile facility would be at the top of the list of things not to do.

Will that be a reason for me personally to not go to an IHRA race? Well, it might. I would go to a 1/4 mile combo at bowling green before I went the same amount of miles for an 1/8 mile IHRA points race. Even an 1/8 mile combo might start to look pretty good.

Chad, I too enjoy 1/4 mile racing better but unfortunately there is very little left in our area so I guess it doesn't bother me. I can understand where you guys are coming from but to let distance stop me from racing seems rediculous but as always its your money and spend it as you choose, this my opinion only.
