Dick, I remember that series and I ran as much as I could and what work would allow. I enjoyed it very much. Now maybe the time is right to try it again. I would join again and help any way I can if you would want to try it again. You know how to do it that is for sure.

This is good to hear! Maybe you could get together with a S/SS Assn. and run races with them. I would love to do that with our SSSSA. It's a win-win deal for both the tracks and the racers. Jim

Re: IHRA for 2018

If any of you S/R or H/R guys would be interested in a big money bracket race (no stops) just for door cars and left steer roadsters, we have a 5K, $20K, $5K at Piedmont in November. We'd love to have you.

Dates, details, and rules here:

Michael. If Doug Lynden is up for it we will come down for this one. :D

Re: IHRA for 2018

Anyone that is interested, we have NESSA (Northeast Super Street Association). Great program, great group of racers, very competitive, and anyone is welcome to run our events. just need to pass track Tech. We have no weight limit which allows Super Gas or Super Rod along with Super Street and Hot Rod cars to partake. If you are interested or need info feel free to contact me or visit our website www.nessaracing.com.

Re: IHRA for 2018

Forgot to mention we have our last race of the 2017 season Tomorrow 10/14/2017 at Lebanon Valley Dragway, West Lebanon NY. Weather looks good so come race and have some fun.

Re: IHRA for 2018

I know some of the IHRA racers are looking into alternatives for 2018 now that IHRA has done away with the sportsman programs for 2018. I wanted to pass this along because I know it's always been a gray area for some as to the question "Well, I only have an IHRA Lic, what do I have to do to cross over to run NHRA if I want to run maybe a local Association event or Bracket Race, Etc." I did some investigating and have an answer for you all:

"Racers can cross grade to NHRA utilizing the NHRA License form for the Appropriate Category. They can bring 2 time slips and a copy of their IHRA Licesnce, complete the form with 1 NHRA Licensed Driver & Track Manager Signature. The track has the option of permitting the racer to race or not, provided he/she turns in all the paperwork to the track and they send it to us on the next business day"

I hope this helps with some confusion and good luck in 2018 in whatever you decide to do, rather it be Association Races, NHRA Events or Big $$ Bracket Racing.

Sad to see this happen, I just bought a Toter Home two weeks ago so that I could head south this winter and run the winter IHRA and NHRA races and the entire Div 3 races this coming year. Now thinking of quitting. Any one need a nice Top Kick/Renegade toter and big block Ford parts and a 1988 Thunderbird.

I got my $100.00 refund for my Q/R and S/R license renewal a couple of days ago
