"WHAT IF" part 4

X-tech man---thank you for the reply--- we have several options will look into ---excellent idea keep us informed--- a little premature but any idea where the midwest tracks might be ???? comp 387

I like it! What I really like is you are proposing locations nationally. Typically I see the "spin-off" organizations like NMCA and the like focused only on the mid-west and east from there; too regional to matter in my opinion.
Being away from racing for nearly 24 months has not bothered me in the least. The cars' getting major work done to it and I am making money this year. Last year put me in the poor house so it's make up time. But today I spoke to a friend that raced Stock this weekend at the D7 race in Chandler. They missed Q1 & Q2 Friday as he had to be at work. Q3 was Saturday @ 8:00 am. E1 was immediately thereafter. He won. So he sat around until Sunday @ 8:00 for E2. He lost. That kind of sitting around with no purpose just takes the fun out of going to the races!

Still working on that idea and others. Ive only spoken to Jim Woods aka Tanker so far. Have to wait and see and other things are more pressing right now. I need to run all ideas past Alex before I make any comments on certain things. I believe he will make a post on this forum in the next week or two about all of this.

I still believe that S & SS is a very valuable untapped resource. All that is needed is for someone to sell it. If you dont try to sell it, then it probably wont be sold.

I firmly believe that it is up to us to sell ourselves as the current sanctioning bodies have already informed us they arent interested in selling us. I was watching the "Sportsman" broadcast on ESPN2 and they showed all Alcohol cars, then listed the winners without even a picture of the other Sportsmen at the end. Why? when SS and S was voted the highest draw in NHRA's own pole?

Let us do it ourselves! No one else is going to do it, but us.

Any thoughts of coming into Canada eh?

Would IHRA S/SS cars be eligible or just NHRA?

Both!
In fact, Terry Bell got the crate motor concept started in IHRA!

[Nitro Joe Jackson]

We (US Class Nats) incorporated IHRA classes with NHRA, the classes that are the same in NHRA & IHRA was ran at NHRA weight breaks, and indexes and some of the lower classes in Stock that had major weight break combo's we put an "I" before the class, like IW/SA.
