Re: Combo Races
I don't think it is that big of deal because most of the IHRA only cars that would come are probably too far away to come there, or they don't travel that far to begin with. About 400 mi one way is my limit. It was 350 mi for me to London KY.
When you are running a combo and have 8 sec super stockers in the field running against lower class stockers, what makes the difference if you allow a couple crate motor or stock GT or pure stock cars in? I agree that if you car fits an NHRA class that you should run at that weight and HP in the correct NHRA class. A few of the IHRA production cars have run in SS/_M at Charlotte, so it can be done. A few of the pure stocks (probably the ones that are serious enough to travel that far) can run under the regular stock index, and i think I have seen a couple of the stock gt cars make a couple changes and run an NHRA open in their regular stock class. Maybe I will try to put a Cobra Jet engine in mine and move to superstock GT. Probably have to cut off my T-Top roof and put a regular steel roof on though. When the blower starts making boost, I wouldn't want to see what would happen to the glass T-Tops. I don't know if they would get sucked in or blown out!
