Re: IHRA the good ol days
 

I think someone (like owners of race tracks Rock, MIR, Darlington, Piedmont, An Ohio Track, VMP, etc. ) is missing out on a golden opportunity of starting a new racing association (Like the old IHRA). I have been running IHRA since 1982. Back then
they mainly raced in NC, VA, TN, SC, OH, etc. It was a southeast based association.I think we have to get back to basics. Also I agree Pro Stock and Pro Mod has to come back to bring fans back. Just my opinion

Re: IHRA the good ol days
 

I really miss watching Top Stock. The crate motors were the demise of top stock. When it was a,b, and c cars running at 8.25 wt. break it was awesome and it could be again.

Re: IHRA the good ol days
 

Just a little insight, We have kept stock/superstock alive and making a format almost perfect for the sportsman competitors....(sportsman schedule ,way better )
(1) We kept the FI cars seperate from the traditional classes
(2) We also made a class of their own for the new Mustangs and Drag Pack cars
(3) Top Stock ,well that just got out of hand (sorry )
(4) And just maybe Pro-Stock ain't exactly gone , If you look at the 2010 rule book you will notice they are still in it...........Hmmmmmmmmmm.....Don't give up, You may could see a lot of changes if you guys would just come to the races and show some support.....

Re: IHRA the good ol days
 

Danny,you talk about support. Only 2 races have been run this year and both of them are 600 miles 1 way from me. I dont know about the other racers but with things as tight as they are with myself and Frank we are going to have to pick and chose the races that we can come to this year. It is bad to have 3 race cars and cant afford to race them on a full time schedule,but other racers probably have that same problem.

I understand what you are saying .You will be more than welcome to the ones that you can go to....Any kind of support is better than no support . Hope to see you both this year somewhere on the trail.

Re: IHRA the good ol days
 

Hey Allen, try to run some of the CCRA races this year. The schedule is pretty diverse from the western part of NC to the eastern part of NC. Hope to see ya there.

Lets go Racing!!!!
