Seems like most of the Pro-Ams and national events are 2 day affairs?

I have decided to attend this race and I am trying to make work and travel plans. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

As I understand it, the 20th will be a test and tune day. SREPA 6-1 will be run on the 21st and SREPA 6-2 will be run on the 22nd. The 23rd is some kind of Canadian holiday and a bracket race event is planned for that day.

Car counts shouldn't make a difference as to which classes are run at a Pro-Am. They should run all 7 classes as separate classes. Dallas last year only had 2 cars in SS, and the same 2 cars ran their category both race days.

So which membership do I need to run this event? And do I need a second membership to run the season bracket races for team Eagle?

Hey Phil for the stocker just call the registration department and you can even get your NHRA competition number assigned for IHRA, as far as the brackets I would assume a membership would be a membership at that point. I have had an Ihra number for a few years now and the people at the reg office are super helpful........and they even call you back!!

This is the body of a email that I sent to the new Division 6 Director from IHRA and this is the reply that I received.

Hi Frank,

I am a racer from the newly formed Division 6 and I have cars that run in both Stock and Super Stock classes, I and many other racers have been trying to get a straight answer on what the new to us Pro-AM series is offering. Are you running separate classes for Stock and Super Stock? Many of us have asked about setting records is there going to be an opportunity? Will the top 3 in points get a berth into the TOC like every other division? Will there be any Class eliminations held? What contingency is offered? What are the Pro-AM payouts?

We are all excited to have choice but would like the opportunity to have the same options for the same costs as every other IHRA member. I would appreciate some answers to these questions as they will dictate where my racing dollars are spent.

"We are excited as well to extend our Summit Pro Am Tour out to our fellow competitors in Canada. There are no class eliminations at any pro am event nor has there ever been, Stock and Super stock class eliminations are run at select Nitro Jam events. "Each class will have a Division champion which includes that the top 3 in each of the 7 Summit Pro Am categories(Hot Rod, Stock, Quick Rod, Top Sportsman, Super Rod, Top Dragster and Super Stock, will quailfy for the TOC event at the World Finals, Each event has class contingency for each of the 7 Pro am classes. I have included a link for the contingency postings for each class and payout page that shows the payout for each class of the Summit Pro Am Tour. We will not be set up or able to do class record runs this year. This is the first year for the Division 6 Pro am tour and we will have limited resources on our part but other than record runs or tear downs you as a racer will not be limited in anyway as far as anything else goes in the Summit Pro Am tour events. Thank you for supporting IHRA and I look forward to working with you in the near future, please feel free to contact me if you or anyone should have any additional questions or concerns. Each of the 7 Summit Pro Am catergories will be run separately as their own class for 2011. Please feel free to spread the word and help get the racers to support these events in Division 6.

I may have missed it but I didn't see the answer as to whether this was a S/SS combo or not.

[Dave Jung]

I think all 7 classes run separatly and top 3 qualify for TOC. "Each of the seven pro am catagories will run separatly for 2011". Looks like separate stock and super stock to me. I wish I could commit to this race, but motor still apart and the wife may prevent me from going.

[Darcy Clarke]

I guess I better start working on the car in case I end up in a heads up run with Don or Shirley. But seeing this is an IHRA event they would be in the FI class so I guess I dodged a bullet.

My crazy Canadian drag racer friend from Calgary sent me this joke, thought it was funny & a great way to keep this thread on the front page & hopefully pick-up a few more participant's to add to the list!

This is supposedly a true story............but you never really know

A teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class.

She came to the part of the story where first pig was trying to gather the building materials for his home.

She read. 'And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said: 'Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?'

The teacher paused then asked the class: 'And what do you think
the man said?'

One little boy raised his hand and said very matter-of-factly...

'I think the man would have said - 'Well, F--- Me!! A talking pig!'

The teacher had to leave the room.
