I did the same thing the day before the race at Dragway 42 so I could participate there.

If you do not intend on bracket racing the "new" SSNC then I would send them an email and request a refund. It's a breach of contract on their behalf. You paid for a Lic and membership to participate in a class that they are arbitrarily eliminating.

It's sad because I have always enjoyed racing their events. The elimination of the traditional divisional races was a huge mistake. Although I initially was a fan of the SSNC concept, I quickly realized that the schedule was weighted in favor of east coast and north-east region tracks. I now believe that a more realistic approach would have been to have each division send their class div champs to compete against other div champs for the nat champ spot (sorry, R/U's & 3rd place finishers would not be able participate). Very similar to the All-stars format.

Hoping that some of the .90 & Stk/SS organizations will pick up the slack.

Also, sending a note to Summit expressing your concerns may not change things, but it won't hurt either.

I sent an email this morning to IHRA requesting a refund, I will post any reply that I get. Sad to see this happen, I just bought a Toter Home two weeks ago so that I could head south this winter and run the winter IHRA and NHRA races and the entire Div 3 races this coming year. Now thinking of quitting. Any one need a nice Top Kick/Renegade toter and big block Ford parts and a 1988 Thunderbird.

Doug,

One of the things here in the Northeast that really helps with .90 racing is local little associations. I'm not really sure if you can spark any interest in the Michigan area to get one going to make it worth while but, I know people like Rock Haas would love to have something in that area (He always jokes that he wishes we were closer). We travel to 3 different tracks within about a 100 miles of each other, run 2 races a weekend, BBQ on Saturday and it's a cheap entry fee for decent cash. It would be a nice replacement for the missing IHRA races.

I got my $100.00 refund for my Q/R and S/R license renewal a couple of days ago
