From the things I've seen lately IHRA seems to be much more supportive of sportsman racing than NHRA. One of the things holding them back is lack of contingency money. Even though I don't do this for the money it would be nice to get paid a little something when you win a race. Let sponsors know how you feel about this. It could make a difference. I think the lack of contingency has reallly depressed their car counts in the last couple of years.
One other thing we all can do is support our local combo races. For me it's Ohio Valley and Bowling Green. We need to be pro active and make sure there is more than one place for us to race.

I think if more racers supported IHRA (NHRA ) sportsman races that the contengency $$$ would follow.If you were a contengency sponsor ,would'nt you want to see a lot of participants at the races ? Maybe they will step up if we step up ..........I would love to see more cars run with us..

7/29/09 Addition to Fuel Injection Classes: AA/FI and AA/FIA are added to the class structure for Stock Eliminator. The 2 classes are reserved for 2008 and later accepted factory muscle cars. No existing FI cars may remove weight and enter this class. Class Break is 7.50 to 7.99. Class Index is 10.85 1/4 mile and 7.00 1/8 mile. This was when there were only the 6.1 Hemi DP and the 425 hp blown CJ's. Now, with all the other engines available, maybe there will a BB, CC, DD, etc FI class.

We ran AA/FI at the 2009 IHRA Northern Nationals at Martin, Michigan. We were runner up in Stock. Here is a YouTube video posted by a spectator at the race.

With that many classes avoiding the chances of a heads up looks good.

Merry Christmas RJ, I'm a little bit sad today after losing our friend Ronnie, but I picked Andrew up at Notre Dame today and brought him home so I'm happy about that. As far as knowing what college is for i'm afraid he's figured it out his first semester.
