People that are too elitist to run IHRA likely would not support AHRA.

LOL...and most likely anything that Alex and myself could get started.

Would you be speaking of the elitist organization, the IHRA, who made a decision not to support 50% of the country?

How do you have events without tracks? A track's choice of sanction is driven by its customers. If you want to have IHRA out west, "DEMAND IT!"

I have an old 1981 AHRA rule book if anybody is interested, has all the old formula hotrod stuff and such......

[Jim Woods]

Well progress is being made in that direction...have you noticed that Rocky Mountain Raceway in Utah, has switched from NHRA, to IHRA? They also have a national event scheduled for late June of this year. I spoke with an IHRA official who said they were talking to some other tracks out west, so you never know...it could also be the tracks getting dis-enchanted with NHRA as well...I guess we'll see huh???

As for me, I'm still hoping that Terry & Alex get something going that will give all of us an option for racing in the category we love, but being shown that we're actually appreciated like our category was in the good ole' days.....

One problem with IHRA down here in the southeast is all of their races are 1/8 mile.

guys, consider this; instead of attempting to become a sanctioing body involved with all the crap that goes along with trying to sanction and keep track owners happy as well as attempting to compete with that side of the business with nhra and ihra and the other hras focus on the marketing side. put together a set of rules for however the business wants to see it structered. now focus on selling race tracks the show [ same as the old match racing days] for a fee. use contingency programs to subsidize the purses and it becomes sunday, sunday, sunday. just a thought.

Art,

That would be a big problem for me, given that the few times I ever did 1/8th mile racing I was less than 1/2 my 50yrs of age...that would be a serious learning curve. However, I haven't heard of Rocky Mountain Raceway doing that for their race forthcoming??? I hope they don't change to that....
