here realize, they are essentially the NHRA indexes plus 3 tenths, with
provisions for unique IHRA classes, I.E. crate motor, etc. I believe the balance of tracks the MCR races at are NHRA sanctioned, and I have not
seen them run the "OLD" IHRA indexes and rules. Additionally, Division 2 allows IHRA S/SS cars to run at their National Opens only, due to sheer volume of IHRA cars in that area. I believe when reading that ruling allowance quite a ways back, it was so that IHRA S/SS racers would not be immediately orphaned, and would have a reasonable time period to change their cars over to NHRA status. IHRA no longer supports the cars that old rules allowed, I don't know how we expect NHRA to support them. The horse has been out of the barn for quite a while now, it might be time to modify your car to NHRA rules, or be happy running in Marion, where they welcome IHRA cars and indexes with open arms, in a very well run program.

Why would you race at Marion?
