Re: Both or neither this week in Phoenix!!!
Well, on the flyer it says you can tech for race 2 at 8AM on Friday. Kenny says one thing and you say another. I would think they would pit and tech people only running race 2 on Friday, but maybe not. If so, you can work on your car, visit your buds and maybe watch a little racing. Sure it would be nice to be able to run just the first race, but as Jack said, it would be tough to keep track of.

Re: Both or neither this week in Phoenix!!!
James,
From what I heard Charlie Allen is out as Manager of Firebird and the Tribe has taken over. Rumors from some friends that were at the National last week was that they kept saying on the PA "NHRA will be back at Firebird in 2014". The Tribe is supposed to be putting 15 million into the racing facility to bring it up to standards.Went there in 2008 and ummm makes you appreciate everything we have out here! Rob |

I, for one, would absolutely LOVE to be able to run 2 divisionals and get 2 grade points in one weekend!

Re: Both or neither this week in Phoenix!!!
Down here in south Florida, we have a different problems with the N & IHRA. Granted, we have the double up races for IHRA, I went to the IHRA points race at PBIR and there wasn't a sufficent car count for them to run their program. On the other hand, NHRA, the closest track to a points race is 300 miles away. When you have to work on Friday (because of the economy, there is no one to back fill your job) and you want to go to the points race for NHRA, you might get a one time run in before eliminations. So you travel through the night and possibly travel home the following night because of they way they run their races. So here is the question you have to ask yourself, do you chance spending all that time and money going to the sanctioning bodies races or do you just go bracket racing locally?
NHRA and IHRA should see the writing on the wall that the economy is eating away at our wanting to participate. Modify the entry fees, a 15 to 25% cut across the board. Also, the scheduled run times should accomodate the racers who have to enter on Saturday. Make sure that if a racer is showing up Saturday, that the catigories they race in get 2 time runs before eliminations. Become user friendly! I not whinning, I want to race the N and IHRA points races. Time is the main concern for me, but for some people it is the entry fees. I have 5 IHRA sanctioned race tracks within 100 miles, so I do have choices on where to go to race. Casey Miles 248H "F" NHRA Stock! |
