NEW IHRA T/S & T/D Class..........

[danny waters sr]

Willhave a class called ELITE 8 at all the NITRO JAM races. They take top 8 qualifiers in each class and run a HEADS UP eliminations during the PRO show. Pay $100.00 to show win or lose if you are in top 8 .Winners get $1,000.00 and r/u gets $500.00.

To bad it is meaningless to saving what Aaron and Scooter have renamed the series-----

(I) (H)ate (R)acing (A)nymore!

We need Mr. Feld to get rid of them and get real racing brass to keep it alive. IHRA is gone as we knew it....

They used to always have a Quick 8 Ts Td at the IHRA nats. Maybe they think it will turn out different this time around.Joe

It's a great idea and you'll have to be fast to get in. My guess is 6.80 in TS and 6.40 in TD whata think Danny..oh my TS 57 is ready to go I like this.

I think it will depend on which area we are in at the time. You are probably hitting it about right. It will be fun to see how this works out. Good Luck to all.

best part to me? THIS is what these classes were designed for. I can't wait even though all I will see from my new position at the track is the parachutes and the drivers reaction when they get out! Should be a LOT of fun no doubt. 6.80 and .40's will probably be the norm. It's also cool that you can run the eliminator now without interfering with the quick-8.

Agree it will be a great addition to the class - also lowering the bump for the regular TD field. Which is long overdue.
The TS quick 8 might be a little more on the normal side - but the TD side is going to be VERY fast. Honestly think you will have to run 6.10 to even think you are going to have a shot a qualifying - there will be 3-5 guys in the 5.80 range so fill in the last 3-4 spots . Everyone is gonna come out of the woodwork for this and it's going to be fun to watch.

ECONOMICS 101.....spend over $100,000 to $150,000 or more to run for $1000. Real smart???
