Class Racer.com teams with IHRA for Summit Racing Equipment

[danny waters sr]

Also a reminder IHRA has fuel injection classes and they do not mix in with the regular stock classes as NHRA does......

[Greg Hill]

Do the buy backs or as IHRA calls them re-entries not bother anyone else? I have never even heard of a sanctioned stock and super stock race where there were buybacks. How about this, a consolation race for the 1st round losers $100 entry and 100% payback.

Well,i was thinking about going,but clutchless trans not allowed!

[Chris1529]

where does it say no clutchless transmissions? They are legal in SS.

BUYBACK/Re-ENTRY:

I know you guys hate this but have you ever run for $5,000 to win in what will amount to a 6 or 7 rd race?

This is a really good deal for the racers.
Let me ask you:
Would you rather pay $200 to run for $1,000
or
$200 with a re-entry rd and run for $5,000

I know where I would vote.

Look at this also say you have 50 cars first rd. Only 25 can do the re-entry and normally only half will. Say 14 Re-enter of those only 7 come back with the 25 first rd winners equal 32 car. This estimate does'nt even add a rd to the race but gives the track an extra $1400 in entry money to pay the purse.
It's a good deal don't bash it until you try it. It could be the next new thing.
You guys always fuss about payout here is your chance to run for more money.

If the buy back is used to pay the purse its a good deal. Usually the buy back money ends up in the track owners pocket. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
