The only none NHRA combo race here is during the "Mopars at the Strip" race

The schedule is posted down in our section in the "Association" part of Classracer. (Trying to play within the rules)

Also we post a lot of info on Facebook and have a page for the association: https://www.facebook.com/AZSSSA/

Jan 26th Wild Horse Pass
March 23rd Tucson Dragway
October 19 and 20 Wild Horse Pass

May have a rescheduled rainout from the 13th of Jan but haven't found a good date to reschedule.

Thanks Mark It isn't that far for me I'm just not a facebook, chat line person. I barely use a cell phone. So finding a schedule that I can put on my own calendar will work. My sister lives in Tucson now so it surely would work for me.

Good Evening,

For me personally would love to support more but just not in my cards right now. between work and family Tucson and Wild Horse are 700 plus miles.

Think the association races are great but all my work vacation goes to NHRA Divisionals or Nationals. You know the story quotas and all.
This may change once I get over the Indy fascination as National Events are not
what they used to be for Sportsmen.

We need this concept to grow and for racers to get involved. IMHO, S/SS will disappear from NHRA in the not too distant future and folks will either decide to support something like this or park em for good. For me, I will go back to bracket racing which for the life of me I don't understand the hesitation by most S/Stk racers to lift their nose at.

I would like to see the AZ S/SS Association morph into the Western S/SS Assn and expand to at least an 8 race series covering tracks from Tucson to Redding.....or perhaps as far as Seattle if you could get the interest level up. Perhaps a North Division and South Division split just like the Pac 12 with the divisional champs meeting at Bakersfield(most centrally located) for a big dollar final.

If you could put together a committee of a few talented racers to be assigned the specific and sole responsibility for developing event sponsorships from local automotive and non-automotive suppliers. This could translate into a minimum guaranteed purse of $1000 per day for about a hundred dollars in the kitty.

It really needs to grow in popularity and participation or we are going to wind up with a bunch of $75,000 race cars relegated to that dreaded bracket racing....or more than likely a glut of ads posted on Racingjunk at $.50 on the dollar.

Lean on Kyle Seipel for ideas. His(and Pete's) success should not go unnoticed and it could be a partial model to make the association idea viable on a wider scale.

On the other hand....this all comes from a Mopar fanatic so you can take it with a grain of salt.
