Pittsburg = IHRA ?
 

Who's coming ? One rig already there and leaving with the stocker Thursday evening.I'm Not working ( woo- hooo)

I would have liked to come out of retirement for these races, but it's very hard to get excited about running 1/8 mile at a 1/4 mile track with enough stopping room.

Re: Pittsburg = IHRA ?
 

Well enough for some, but a friend of mine crashed his car there last year. Another 3 friends had to put brakes on their car after burning them up stopping. That track is safe for stockers, yes, but 150 mph cars at 3000lbs I dont know about. I'm not going so it really doesnt matter.

I was there last year as well. There was some wicked wind on Sunday morning that was rough for the top sportsman especially. I personally think all the excavation they are doing there on both sides of the track is adding to this problem.
my car isn't fast at all, and I know I have to get on the brakes harder there than at most places.

going for sunday

Yes it is 1/8 mile,but don't let that stop you.

Re: Pittsburg = IHRA ?
 

Cars stoped there at over 200 mph when the track was shorter,...why do we have problems now?.....hate folding chuts...economys bad, can't aford new brakes.Let the T/D s T/S s run 1/8,....give us back the 1/4.

Re: Pittsburg = IHRA ?
 

If stock was running 1/4, I'd be there. Had no issues in the past stopping.

No comment ,except if you love racing and want to support it just come.I understand the 1/4 mile issue. I love racing it too. I would hate to see someone get hurt just because they ran a 1/4 mile just for me.Be easy guys ,lets just have fun.In North Carolina we have to wait for a National to run 1/4 maybe 3 times a year, but we still race in between.

Hell, I'll race ya a100 ft. it doesn't matter what distance you race, it is still a race.

Danny since you are off duty, stop over for a beer. We are planning on coming out Friday night.
