I think that's it, BRING BACK the AHRA!!!!!!

Robert,

I googled AHRA and as of 2006 they were still in business as an association, racing at only one track....Seattle, we would probably have to pay someone to use that moniker.

I raced in the old AHRA and it always had a family feeling not like the cattle call NHRA.

Not sure if it would be an issue or not, but I am assuming these races will be held at tracks currently sanctioned by NHRA or IHRA?, and if so, are these same tracks bound in any way to not hold races put on by a competing (UCRA, AHRA, whatever this will be called ) sanctioning body?

IMO, if you want credibility, you need to use a serious name not a slap in the face to other organizations. I would suggest that if you want to get at the other sanctioning bodies the best way would be to take their customers.

They let the Pinks Show race at tracks that are NHRA and IHRA. Pinks is not a part of either orginization.

Trevor, Pinks is not actually directly competing with either NHRA or IHRA, the new association would certainly be considered to be in direct competition with both.

Good point but it raises another question: Would NHRA/IHRA let us run on the tracks they have contracts with or control. If we are competing against them where would we be allowed race?

Track owners would not want to take the chance of losing contracts with the HRA's by hosting our races....just something to think about!

Just to let you know that we are still working on things. Its a slow process.

i think it is great to let the mods and modified stock run comp. with real indexes of course. we will support you!

Alan, I agree that it would be in competition race car wise, but Pinks is in competition with them with the fans. Just look at how many people go and watch this show, there are as many at Pinks watching as there are at a National event on Sunday. Am I wrong?

After thinking about what I posted and after reading it I have made no sence,I think I have breathed in to many paint fumes today. I guess what I was trying to say is that Pinks is in competition with them and they are letting them put on their show at affiliated tracks and that I did not think it would be a problem with some one else doing the same thing just in another format but I'm probably wrong.
