Hot news flash: Stk/superstock combo race at indy

[Andrew Hill]

The same weekend as the IHRA race in London, KY as well as the one in Numidia. Seems like they could have chosen a better weekend.

I may be seeing something that's not really there but I get the feeling this date was chosen to try and take away from the IHRA race and the race in Pa. Indy hasn't had a combo race in 5 or 6 years and the last one they had there were about 12 or 15 cars and I was one of them. I will be attending the IHRA race in London.

Thanks Greg. That is exactly what IHRA needs to continue having divisional races. Just a little support here and there..... It is nice to have choices.......

One would think that they would schedule the S/SS race the week BEFORE the Divisional. That would give people a little practice before the points race.

But no, they want to schedule it on the weekend of the nearby IHRA Divisional and the Privately run S/SS $10K plus extras race which I think was scheduled at Numidia to draw on some of the Div. 3 racers.

Bad choice. :-(

WOW a 4k to win payout for a Stk., SS combo race at a NHRA owned track!!!!! That has to be some sort of a record.If fuel gets to $4. plus a gallon like they are talking about, most racers are going to be sticking close to home anyway. Its not going to matter what whats going on a 1000 miles away.

I'll be at IRP that weekend. 12+ hrs closer than numida and pays 4X as much as ihra pts race. That a no brainer!

Hopefully it goes over good and they'll have more of them!

[K Stubbs]

And you get paid all of it there.

Jeremy, you wouldn't race an IHRA race if it was across the street from your house. So many of you think so short term.

I wouldn't get too excited until I saw what the entry fee and the rest of the purse looks like... There's more than one line on a flyer.

$.02,

What it looks more like a IHRA pts race mike? $135 entry and if you get down to three cars you get back $125. I don't know why people don't race more IHRA?
