I *think* I found my glitch. I'm going to try, if nothing comes up. Between 8 & 9 hours each way. I'm none too bright, I just like to race.

Ed Wright, if that comment of yours is a swipe at me, then I'll consider the source. I'm out to embrace the IHRA, and if it means traveling 8-9hrs to do so, then that's fine with me. Hey, it's my money, and my choice of how I choose to spend it (besides, I feel it's an investment in my racing future, that will show IHRA, that I'm happy they're trying to come and play in our part of the country)! If you don't like it (even though you're closer than I am), then don't show up...I don't really care! I'll tell you one thing, it's a whole lot better paying $200 for a national event (with a chance to go to the world finals), than pay $305 to the monopoly and the enhancements that go with it!

As for you (the Deuces Wild) Ed, I hope you get your clutch together, and I'll look forward to seeing you there. I have some friends there who've been bugging me to come visit them for 10yrs., and now that IHRA is in Az., I'm going there to show my appreciation to them for trying to give us westcoast racers another venue by which to enjoy our passion for drag racing (that actually seems to appreciate us, by giving us more coverage in their magazine, and allows us to spend less money to participate in the races w/o the enhancements we've been blessed with by Glendora). It's nice to have options for a change!

WHAT?? I have no idea what you are talking about! It's almost nine hours each way for ME! I have no idea (nor do I care) where you live or how long it takes you to get there.
Get over yourself.

Btw, Houston is about the same drive for me, No Problem is 12 hours each way for me.

I was thinking the same thing ED. Where the Hell did that come from? It clearly isn't a smart move considering what you have to risk and what the payoff might be. Once again, Throw a T/S payout and we are driving the 8 hours to be there too. Ain't making it as it stands and I'm quite sure there are multiple cars with less driving distance that think the same way. It just isn't worth the money and time vs other races.

Ed Wright · 03-28-2011, 09:24 PM

As I said, Hagen, I'm none too bright. I just like to race. I ran the 2009 race there. Didn't get to last year. Only got to race 4 time all last year. Going to try to make more races this year.
