Tuscon and rocky mountain are the other nitro jam events without SS or Stock.

every time i think IHRA is moving in the right direction something like this happens. Oh well, still going to run as much IHRA as I can this year

Ouch.... I could possibly see not having S/SS at Tucson and Rocky Mountain if there are few cars in those divisions or venues (I have no idea whats happening out that way, I'm from the Midwest), but no S/SS at PITTSBURGH??? I'm really stretching to find the justification here....

Could pit space be a possible reason?
I was only there once several years and don't recall if they have the space. There was talk a while back of making more room and a "national" event, but don't know if they did expand any. Otherwise, I was surprised as was a friend who lives in Pittsburgh.

Plenty of pit area on the left side. So that's not it

I'm curious how they can run a IHRA event at a NHRA track in Tucson. Ashcroft in BC announced a AHRA event last year when they were still a NHRA track and lost their NHRA sanction.

Thomas,

Everytime IHRA has a chance to hit a home run, they always end up Striking Out ... Who is making all these bad calls & why ?
Come on guys , I thought you were for sportsmen racing ???
