Re: Epping -- I've made the tow to New England Dragway three times, once from Ohio, and twice from North Carolina. I've also been to San Antonio three times, Tulsa once, Immokalee, FL twice, and have made the NC - Michigan trip numerous times. ...what was the point again?

I know! Isn't it crazy how people promote things that they *like*?
This to me makes more sense than promoting something that aggravates someone.

Both Nhra and Ihra have many problems they need to work on

That's the start of getting things done. The next step is to define those problems, and then address them.

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.

For those that have cars that run in populated classes, if they would simply all attend, then those classes would be just as populated in IHRA. For those that do not run in populated classes, it's a very hollow argument. For the record, I've had numerous heads-up runs over the years, and there have been many more times where their was a potential heads-up run could have occurred later in eliminations.
Someone had posted this winter that he chose not to run IHRA "because I don't *want* to". I respect that, because he was honest and up front. But for those that are sitting on the fence, I've tried to make this point before: It is what YOU make it. Get involved. Want lots of heads-up runs? Get a bunch of same-classed buddies together, and go to a race. Have other issues? Become a constituent, and voice your opinion. IHRA has made changes over the years because of racer feedback. Just one example: they didn't start laddering cars until about 2001. YOU made that happen.
