for nastalgia superstock bring back the old c/sm class and have them run a spec head like brodix makes for all 3 car co. keep it cheap, no porting, manual cluth assisted 5 speeds only for crowd appeal.

Re: What would U change @ IHRA
 

It's very simple.When I go to the races, I want to race. Not sit and sunburn. I don't want to invest $200k on a place to sit because we are not racing. Give me some runs and I will race more. Three days off work and two or three runs is way out of line. First rounds in front of a Friday crowd does not entice me. I don't mind paying to play, but we're really not playing that much anymore.

I understand why NHRA wants to sign up more cars per event. However, the advertising messages are being diluted by too many competing companies as a result of the massive amount of cars at each event. Subsequently, there is less perceived value for current and prospective event and team sponsors. I hope the pendulum is about to swing the other way.

Anyone ever wonder how a bass tournament winner can win so much more than us? I genuinely do not know the answer, but it is worth a discussion.

Forgive the thread hijack...thought it was an NHRA question...sorry

I would change the schedule!!! Put the President's Cup back to September!! Quit scheduling their races on top of close NHRA races!! Once you start doing that you may see higher car counts!

It's 5:40 pm on Sunday and still no first round of Super Stock??? I know it rained Friday and Saturday but?????

IHRA has too many classes at National Events! And then add in the Super Summit Series and it makes for a very long day on Sunday! Either they need to have 4 day events or eliminate some classes at nationals!

Re: What would U change @ IHRA
 

I am with you Bryan. Especially at the events where they have something extra like the SSS, or Moser Axle Mania, etc. They need to add another day to the event. It looks like Top Sportsman is the only "sportsman" class that has made their first round runs.

Re: What would U change @ IHRA
 

All I've ever read was that IHRA was "sportsman's best friend". What's going on at Rockingham? What a joke, they could have easily ran at least 1 round of Stk, SS, SG, etc., instead of all the other BS.

smells like Norwalk in '06.

Re: What would U change @ IHRA
 

The only sportsman classes that ran first round today were Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, and Hot Rod.

Stock is first out 9AM Monday morning for first round...
