Any info on I.H.R.A. Div 5

Jim Kaekel · 01-02-2008, 04:03 PM

According to the IHRA web site, the division 5 Pro-Am schedule is listed as "coming soon".

I talked to Joel a few weeks before Christmas...the deal is going to be Martin, Osceloa and Byron. They are waiting fro Byron to picka date that will work out better for them this year.

Guys unless IHRA is going to have Pro-Am's back again in the original confinds Div.5 (which was in Wis,Iowa, & S.D). ect this coming '08 season.... Why not just eliminate the old Div.5 for '08 & stop all the "pain & suffering" of having to watch it die a slow death track by track does that make too much sense or not ??? Just add the Byron,Osceola & Martin-131 events to the Div.3 schedule & be done with it.

Dave,

I'm glad they are giving us another chance to grow the turnout. I really like the 2 race weekend format. I raced the "old" Division 5 and the new format this year. Enjoyed them both.
Don't remember your name on any qualifying sheets????

Dave WE GET IT.......sheesh you like the old format....but ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

As well I dont want to have to spend the fuel bill at 3.27 a gallon this AM in Chicago to tow to South freakin Dakota or Pittsburgh..nor does anyone else. At this point the sport of Drag Racing needs ANY and ALL possible avenues of intrest. In case you havent noticed we have lost a few facilites as well as a few series.

Not to mention you have lost a few IHRA tracks to NHRA in this div. so the "old" schedule wont exactly work.

shooter....its piss poor attitudes on ALL sides that have ruined the div. its time to put it away and RACE what is offered..support on both sides goes a very long way.

Well said, Shooter. At first, I wasn't too crazy about the two races in one weekend format when it was introduced, but after experiencing it, I think it's fine and look forward to it again this year.

Calm down guys & put your reading glasses on & go read my posts again...Who said anything about eliminating the excellent time saving / fuel saving 2-day double IHRA Pro-Am's ??? What I said was... eliminate IHRA Div.5 in '08 (because all the events are basicly in Div.3 anyway) and just add all those events to the IHRA Div.3 schedule & be done with all the pain & suffering of having to watch all the old IHRA Div.5 tracks die a slow death one by one as they all defect & fall to the evil empire NHRA sanction.Guess that makes too much sense so ya know it won't happen right ??

Just curious is there some rule or law that any given IHRA Div. can't have more then 6 Pro-Am events in a single season or what?
