[QUOTE=
Considering the IHRA tracks around here, they likely still wouldn't draw many cars. I ran several IHRA races a few years ago. I tried to support them. Other than Tulsa, which couldn't make any money with IHRA, none of them had room for the number of cars and big rigs an NHRA points race draws. They couldn't fit them all in.[/QUOTE]

That's hilarious right there Ed, if you think Tulsa made any money with 322 cars then it's obvious you don't have a clue about cost of events and as for your statement about IHRA tracks in your area, I am assuming you mean Oklahoma area, IHRA pro am tracks in div 4 are SAN ANTONIO( not very good racing surface but will hold whatever is needed for car counts), Baton Rouge( good facility and great people and former nhra track and can hold the cars needed) Pinevalley ( very good track and great racing surface and room for plenty of cars).Are they as good as the Texas Motorplex? No but neither is Noble or any of the LODRS tracks around.

The whole truth is if a racer don't want to go, they will make enough excuses to not go and the original question of this thread was why super stock didn't support IHRA, you have come up with every excuse why but none of them are relevant to this thread IMO ...... Just my .02
