Same old **** different day. Where did this post get us? No place just like every other time it comes up. Some NHRA racers just don't like the bracket racer attitude when it comes to STK & SS that it’s just a bracket race. That’s the biggest problem most NHRA racers have with IHRA. With all the classes in IHRA some racers say it’s just like going to your local bracket track and racing with STK and SS numbers because performance is rarely a factor. There are still racers that thrive on making there cars run faster then the guy in the next lane in the same class. I’m not saying I don’t like IHRA, I just feel that STK & SS needs a performance factor because with out it, it’s just bracket 1. Which IHRA already runs at most national events? The problem is IHRA needs CM and those other classes for STK & SS to survive because of lower car counts. So what do you do? IHRA has done a great job with what they have to work with and is a great place to race if you choose to.
