Re: IHRA Ends Stock & Super Stock Racing
The IHRA going to a bracket race format may indeed increase car count for their events. Here is my thought. There are probably quite a few cars out there, that are good cars but, cannot run on or near 1 second under their respective index. I would think there a lot of guys that don't show up to an event that has class eliminations because they know they don't have a chance to make it past the first round running a heads up race. I think a lot of those racers pick and choose the events they have a chance of winning.
Also, todays Stockers are very sophisticated and cost a bundle of $$ to build and maintain on top of expensive entry fees. Some guys won't go to an event they don't have a chance of winning. I can remember at the old Detroit Dragway in the 60's, the majority of class cars were daily drivers with the exception of some bolt on modifications and a set of slicks. They would have a huge car turn out. Maybe a bracket racing format will level the playing field. Time will tell.
