Re: IHRA Ends Stock & Super Stock Racing
Its just how I would try to explain a big-bucks footbrake race to an imaginary driver who's only racing experience was in SS or Stock at NHRA National Events. Its all factual.

The races he took .004 stripe. Anybody that shows up at one of those races with a stocker or super stocker racing against foot brake cars on alcohol running 9's is going to have an uphill battle. At least in the northeast. The common person that shows up at one of those races is a donater. Better off building a stocker and running a division race or one of the many fine S/SS associations. Going from class racing to big money racing is not a comparison. 2 different type of cars for each type of racing. Take your IHRA car and convert it to NHRA or run NMCA.

A good package is a good package, and a good combination is a good combination. H*ll, I'd put my DF/S Turismo up against my Duster bracket car any day. I haven't even raced the Duster in years because the Volare was always light years better. Yes, the level of competition is very high. Step up.

Re: IHRA Ends Stock & Super Stock Racing
Now that IHRA has gone all bracket racing don't be surprised if NHRA is watching how that works out.

Re: IHRA Ends Stock & Super Stock Racing
Mike your the extra extraordinary driver. You are also a race promoter. You want and need people at your races. I would expect you to toe the company line. Most stockers and Super stockers don't repeat like today's pro footbrake cars. Some vary .02 to .04 all weekend day and night. Your class cars were more like bracket cars anyway.
Take your class car and run the big money races. Good luck and have fun. That's what it is all about. Quote:

They appear to have revamped their site, and the page has moved. Here's the new link:

Re: IHRA Ends Stock & Super Stock Racing
I did email NMCA over a week ago and they responded immediately. They will be recognizing IHRA stock/super stock/pure stock indexes.
For guys like me coming from MI it is a nice opportunity as many events are close and my daughters G/PS Mustang GT stick is not in need of an update to a full NHRA stocker yet. And as she is 16, she is just getting a start and a PS car was a perfect fit, glad it is still usable as is. GLSSA will welcome your IHRA cars still also as they too were happy to reply and keep IHRA cars alive. Thank you NMCA and GLSSA! |
