WHAT IF part 2

[Mark Yacavone]

Terry, First of all, I didn't mean to sound negative in your last thread. It is important though, for people to understand what it takes for an endeavour like this. Especially for an association.

Let me know if you need anything.

Gentelmen....I fully agree with not having the race on the same date as INDY (this year or next) because Indy is after all......INDY. I just threw that in there to get your attention and to show how serious we are at trying to get this to happen. In time I would hope that there wouldnt have to be such a choice and turn this associations races into an "INDY" for all class racers at every race.

INDY has a 128 car qualified field.Some of us that don't work on our car will not qualify there.Is there going to be a limit on the field size at these events,or is EVERYBODY going to be able to race in the first round?Example.....187 cars in round one at the U.S.Class Nationals.

P.S.
The TV coverage is a great idea.

LOL....we thought about keeping the date but decided that it would hurt our car count and INDY's. There are still to many "DIE HARDS" out there and they would race Indy if all they won was an empty beer can. Until this works we will have to work around some things.

First off, no, my car isn't even ready yet but have to ask. Concerning the possibility of an Indy conflict. Will IHRA cars be allowed, ie: GT, crate motor and pure stock, as well as SS/production cars? They won't be going to Indianapolis. Or will this be strictly NHRA S/SS?

This whole idea sounds great.

I would love to see another "Class Nationals" like the one they had at Byron Dragway!!!!!!!!!!
