Why would a guy not build a car that fit classes with both HRAs in the first place, if he wanted to be able to run it anywhere? Instead of expecting one HRA to change rules to suit them?

For the same reason a guy would oppose one HRA or the other making a move to open up opportunities to more "racers" ....... Let's spend less time on the school yard and more time supporting class racing . In any form

WHY?
YOU know this answer..
He is not building a car for you..!

I do not get why NHRA does not include IHRA Classes already?
IF NHRA does not want our business.
We have OPTIONS (CHOICES) and will go elsewhere..

Its ok we understand what you ment. I chose an IHRA combo because theres IHRA races in my area and the crate motor class caught my attention. Instead of finding and spending restoration money on a top end to do the same thing i was able to do it with less then half for castings that were not 40+ years old.

We have 2 IHRA tracks close and 2 NHRA as well. I hope there is a merge at some point or at least a pardon. My dream would be to run at indy at least once but i dont see myself spending more cash just to have a NHRA combo. Car count will be up and its good for the economy for these small towns like Cayuga that still have tracks. Super pumped for this race. Im hoping it will open some eyes.

As low as IHRA car counts are, adding a couple of those classes isn't likely to help the NHRA car counts all that much. There are cars around here that run both. If the regular Stock and Super Stock cars are too costly, you can run their et brackets.

If I was building a car, I don't think I would paint myself into a corner like that, then expect another sanctioning body's rules be changed to suit my car.

Dan, NHRA would not care if all they had were the .90 classes. Lots of cars, almost zero tech. We are a head ache. They are not going to add classes. Most understand this. IHRA doesn't have the big Pro Show. Hardly anybody has ever heard of their "pros". They need sportsman cars worse than NHRA. They don't really care if you "go elsewhere".
