question
 

this may be a dumb question, we are thinking of going to Shreveport.
Never have ran IHRA
a buddy said he can run 50 more under then in NHRA I thought the indexs were the same
thanks

Re: question
 

Some are some are not because ihra has more classes in stock and ss

Re: question
 

Like Bob said there are more classes in IHRA, but when NHRA lowered the indexes three tenths IHRA didn't follow suit. So, theoretically, you should be able to run three tenths further under the index in IHRA.

Parts Breaker,

To borrow from an old saying; the only dumb question is one not asked.

I never raced IHRA until last month either, but it was great to run more than .5 under my index again w/o having to break my bank acount to do so (not that I even have the funds to do so anyway). The experience was so enjoyable (last month in San Antonio), that I'm looking forward to next month in Salt Lake City...their race will have altitude correction factors implied due to Salt Lake City's over 4000ft elevation....thus with some ideal air conditions, I could go .6 to .8 under the index there, and I'm looking forward to trying to do just that!

Oh, and one more thing, your bank account will thank you for giving IHRA a try, because (national event entry fee wise), you'll have $105 bucks extra to spend on something else. I don't know if that matters to you, but it sure does to me!!!

Good Luck to you, and have fun out there.... :)
