NHRA D2 open series

Next stop is Atlanta Dragway this weekend then it’s off to Piedmont Dragway in Julian NC. Crate motor cars and SS production cars from the defunked ihra y’all had nowhere to go and nhra decided to give this a try so you guys had a place to race. Get a grade point and race toward a separate championship, if you guys don’t support this series it’ll go away from here just like ihra did. I can’t make Atlanta but I’m working on hitting piedmont.

Re: NHRA D2 open series

Duane, what is the date for Piedmont? Not on their schedule......

Re: NHRA D2 open series

july 5 to 7th, look at D2 Website

Re: NHRA D2 open series

It will be interesting to see if all tha Crate Motor and Pure Stock so called racers show up to race and support a great idea by Division 2. I heard they didn’t show for the first race. You folks need to step up and race Good luck to all

Re: NHRA D2 open series

I stopped at Music Citty Raceway, Nashville on my way to California and raced. Not a lot of cars? Not sure why? Not a good showing for a new series!

Re: NHRA D2 open series

Why don't we give it a chance before we stick a fork in it, huh?

And like Bobby said, there are no Pure Stock classes in competition.

Trying to get my junk back together so I can come out and play!

Re: NHRA D2 open series

I would gladly support the series if pure stocks were allowed but maybe I am not a racer because of my classification , SURE

Now, I am not an 1/8th mile fan, but it isn’t the end of the world to go. I really wanted the grade point so I went.

I agree, anyone with an IHRA only combo should go. I didnt know that PUre Stockers we’re not in the mix. If I had an IHRA car, I sure would do anything to support the only race space around d2 land. I would also consider trying to step up a pure stocker to run a stock index to at least go play. Or perhaps get the massive number of pure stock racers to band together and commit to showing up if they would let you in. They need cars period. I bet you could work it out if it was more than a few cars.

By the way, there was an IHRA SS Stick Car there in Nashville that won. Really nice car too. He was glad to have a place to race.

I think that all of us as racers need to be not so quick to bash any DD or track owner efforts to accommodate IHRA racers. Too many go straight to the negative. It isn’t helpful to the sport.

Re: NHRA D2 open series

I agree with Jim, what Rich and the D2 crew put together here is good for racers in general. Unfortunately for me its hard enough to make the regular division and national races so I don't think I will make any of these races. I would like to try to make Piedmont and ofcourse do a "Live" report but not sure I will even make that as work is extremely busy right now. Hope some more folks will get out and support these races and I think they will when the races get closer to D2 country.

Re: NHRA D2 open series

I hope this weeks turn out is good. I would have liked to have gone this weekend but had other plans made. I plan to go the Jackson SC. race later in the year. I think Rich has done a great job starting this series. Hopefully it will continue for a few years and grow.

Re: NHRA D2 open series

I have copies of the final sheets text me and I’ll send them to you if you want it. Not sure how to post it here. 571-499-7004
