Re: AHRA index racing
I can't see that there will be a lot of cars, if any, signing up for this. It's hard enough to win a Super class race with all of the electronics. I can't imagine that there are 10 cars in the country that match all the requirements.

Re: AHRA index racing
To bad as the electronic and air operated throttle stops have killed the .90 classes for the spectator. Just take a look in the stands when they run today. In the beginning its was a bolt stop or adjustment with weight. The start and bog then start again is boring as hell !

Re: AHRA index racing
It is true that .90 racing is boring to most all spectators, but that is because they really don't understand how the game is played. It is far from boring to the drivers that participate in the .90 classes. Besides, most spectators are not at a National Event to watch the .90 classes.

What do you think would happen if the electronics were banned? Dan

Have you ever competed in the throttle stop classes? If not don't knock it until you try it. 160+ mph in a roadster is much more fun for me than 110 MPH was in my stocker and it was a stick car. I ran stock for years in the 60's and early 70's. I have just as much or more fun now running a SG car as I did the stock car back when. Being retired it is also less work to run the SG car and to me it is about fun not how much work it takes to be competitive. I would not have retired if I wanted to work the hours it takes to be competitive in stock and super stock. It is all about different strokes for different folks. I have other interests other than drag racing also. Please don't knock any of the classes or we may just not have any classes to run in the future. Be a part of the solution not part of the problem by knocking a class of racers. Just My 2 Cents Rick Cates Canyon, TX SG 5887 |

Re: AHRA index racingf
So,. Is this AHRA bounty only listed for the west coast? I went to there web site, and really could not find info on this. I don't believe I am eligible, since I have a Lenco. But i might call tomorrow and ask. I can't believe they are going to pay 10k, really! There has to be a issue where no one is eligible
