We see new index racing creeping in at NHRA national events.
Is NHRA far behind?

Tulsa went AHRA for a while. I never could slow my car down enough to run with that deal. Never saw so many cars with no front bumpers. Tulsa scedualed a National event with them. I ran off my own record in NHRA back then. I decided I would just set the AHRA record where I needed it at that race. Their tech guy, Vance Brady about had a stroke when I went down for the rear down. Told me I "was not going to screw our guys over like that". His whole little bald head turned red. And, said that if I was not happy running off the record as it was, to just take my ***** somewhere else to race. I was just going to knock it down 1.10 seconds. Slowest bunch of cars I had ever seen. Only good AHRA car I remember was Alan Patterson's '55. Very nice car.
Some of us used to call it the Arkansas Hillbilly Racing Association.

Wasn't Billy the Kidd involved in that?
Can you explain their demise?

Ihra sportsman program failed because of the "I'm too good to run ihra" crowd in nhra. Personally had racers tell me I'm not running my stuff in Ihra. I asked why not real good racers race Ihra. They said Ihra is a second class citizen. Damn must be nice for your **** not to stink. IMHO it's a huge EGO deal. In any event, they killed it for the rest of us. Thanks guys....
