IHRA Divison 2 Schedule - Page 2

Kanawha Valley was a single race, surrounded by double-headers. People filled up their points races with those double-headers. When the MIR double ran into rain, a bunch of guys switched to Div. 3. It all added up to killing the race. A similar thing happened to the New York International event - a single around all doubles, and scheduled on top of a National Open in New Jersey, and bad weather to boot.

Just rumor, but I heard that tracks needed to upgrade to concrete guardwalls instead of guardrail in order to have a Divisional.

I know many people coming from the Jax area faced over a 60-mi reroute just to get to the Douglas race last year, it was very smoky on the way in. Just bad luck. I forgot about the concrete wall issue, but that would not affect Steele, right?

Steele is just in a bad area for IHRA. Too far west for the carolina racers and too far east for div 4 racers.
I went last year and liked the place it was an easy ride for us. Long but easy. I would go back to Steele and Douglas if IHRA would.

What Chip said. The only reason I didn't go to Steele last year was I was also chasing some local points and had a conflict. No bracket points programs for me in '08, so I'd go to Steele, and I would go back to Douglas.
