“Live from” the NHRA D2 Nat open series at Piedmont

[Duane Eiskant II]

Exactly. I was asked to try to help get some exposure for this new series, because like IHRA with no exposure and no support it will go away. I feel bad for the ihra guys who did support that organization for along time and then got crapped on by the new powers to be. The sad truth about ihra atleast in my eyes is that when bill bader stepped down it died. Since then the writing was on the wall. Fields got smaller mainly because of scooter peaco and his attitude. They no longer cared about what bader had done to help bring sportsmen back in drag racing and when they did away with mountain motor pro stock and pro mod that was the final nail in the coffin. I was lucky with my father and his brother in law bill hawk I was way ahead of the curve in getting my stuff to run. Then all the years helping Jim Morgan with the top stock stuff I was able to further my program. Anyway I probably was the one of the few who could basically change the letters on the windows over to NHRA and run under the index. Did it ten years ago so nothing changed. Unfortunately there are some who can not accept the fact that NHRA is not ihra and the class they ran is now gone. So if they truely love class racing and everything it represents then they will update there car or buy one that’s ready to go. Cooter thanks for posting the sheets I texted you and I’m sorry for the people who attacked you for your choice to run NHRA. Hell if I would have known super stock was this much fun then I would have switched it over a long time ago and wouldn’t have had to worry about a place to race. NHRA is the major league and ihra was the minors. Guess I finally just got called up.
