Yes Gary i agree we need to support IHRA if they come out...BUT word on the street is that NHRA has scheduled their first vegas divisional on the same day as the IHRA event @ tucson.. This is a BIG F YOU to the sportsmen racers from NHRA to make us choose and car counts will suffer.We have multiple cars on our team that are still in the points hunt for Jegs Allstars. So now what??? give up all star points to support IHRA? Once again we out west will get screwed. NHRA makes us choose one or the other and if we support the ONE race for IHRA we lose points for our NHRA season which has alot more races and impact BUT if we dont support the ONE race then the possibilty of a west coast alternative goes away... I thought we lived in a democratic non monopolistic society...We DEFINITELY dont race in one...

God help us and & our sport

Drag pacs and Mustangs have their own class and index in IHRA so your old car can run

The Nitro Jam race at Tucson is E.T. and Jr's only, so there's no conflict.

If the racers push the tracks, maybe you could get some to go IHRA and have a new Pro-Am Division, but the only one you've got out west right now is Edmonton (June 24-26). You had Salt Lake last year, but racers didn't support it, so now it's just for TD, TS, ET, and Jr's.

You really want to DO something? Save up and go to Edmonton. There's no schedule conflicts that I can see. Show up in force, and make a statement. Show the tracks that you will support them if they make the commitment.
