Re: IHRA Ends Stock & Super Stock Racing
I find it very concerning that IHRA did this. It wouldn’t be so far fetched to think NHRA could eventually do the same thing?
Maybe it is time to start looking at how to preserve and protect our investment into our cars and classes? Think about the massive investment that all the stock,Super stock racers have made over the last 50 plus years into race cars ,parts ,car haulers etc . Not to mention the investment into NHRA! I would hate to see with the stroke of a pen our classes get reduced to just an index bracket. With the knee jerk reactions we see from time to time(like the recent prostock joke) it is a possibility. Instead of waiting for something to happen we need to make sure it never can. |

Re: IHRA Ends Stock & Super Stock Racing
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....

Re: IHRA Ends Stock & Super Stock Racing
It's sad, but if it won't be supported, then it won't be there. Simple.

Re: IHRA Ends Stock & Super Stock Racing
It's the bean counters who make decisions like these, however the time has come to get back to the grass routes of class racing, which is now the "local" Stock/SS association events. Support theses and you'll be fulfilled.
