Gotta be careful with 'short' schedules... Last year, when the Div. 1 race at MIR looked like rain, a bunch of guys switched to Div. 3 because if they missed MIR, they had no flexibility left in their schedule.

I really liked Douglas, and came to like Steele at the Bracket Finals.

Man, IHRA's schedule is week for sure.. I know they are all doubles but what Mike B said..

Things seem to be sliding downhill..

Geez, you mean the Steele race has gotten taken away from us???

Since IHRA took away the two races closest to me (Douglas and Steele) it pretty much makes up my mind for me...NHRA S/ST and bracket racing. Oh well, I really liked the two-race format in H/R.

The new (last year) track owner at Douglas may not have wanted it this year.

Hopefully the Divison 9 schedule will look better then Divison 2.
I was looking forward to going back to Steele, AL since it is about 2 hours from my house, and a good track to race at.

Kanawha Valley isn't on the Div 1 or 3 schedule either for this year. Whomever is running it must not want a points meet. It is a shame since that is the only dragstrip in my state. Glad to see that Quaker City is back though.

I was told that the "bottom line" wasn't enough to offset the hassle or the gamble (rain-outs) of having a Pro-Am event. But they did note that the lower than expected turnout in 2007 was probably due to all the fires in southeast Georgia. I will keep talking to the track manager in hopes of convincing him and the owners to reconsider. But it's probably too late for 2008.

Tom,

I think that the track owners are the same. But the manager was changed.
