Another low car count?

Is IHRA running class cars at Tuscon?

This is from the IHRA website: "The inaugural Arizona Nitro Jam will feature a full ET and Junior Dragster program customized for the racers, with additional classes currently being discussed. While not on the agenda for the inaugural event, a full Nitro Jam event with all IHRA sportsman classes is the goal for the future."

You can't compare super class car count to stk and ss. Super cars are cheap to build, very easy to maintain. Most have tug boat motors, alot of them use pump gas and still cover their index by atleast one second.. I believe that 1/3 of the super racers have 2 cars, (1 S/G and 1 S/C) and enter 2 classes. They get more bang for buck at a national.
Not to mention there are 10 or more times the super racers in the USA than stk and or ss racers. Super classes will always fill up fast, nature of the beast.

Why enter now when you can wait until the last minute?

I tried to generate interest in a class car show in tucson. I got extra purse money. i got hem to structure the event so we did not have to jump through extra hoops to put it on. STILL NO INTEREST!!!!! I got 11 responses. & only 1 super stock. Every one was either going to Vegas for the double header or not going anywhere. We have no one to blame but ourselves.

Toby I could not agree more. Why does NHRA need my money two months before it has to be there.

Charlie,
You are absolutely CLUELESS what it cost to build a competitive.90 car.

That being said the reason .90 classes keep filling up is new blood. So many people are tired of the crap going on at Bracket races they have migrated to the .90 races as an alternative.

S/SS on the other hand gets very little new blood because the bracket racers cars can't crossover.
Thats my opinion.

Clueless, thats funny!! I owned and raced a competitive S/G, SST car for 18 years and compared to fast stk ss car, they are dirt cheap to build and maintain.

Not real sure about that new blood going .90 racing because of "crap" at the bracket races. I believe they migrate to the .90 class because they can keep their button and their box and still go fast for cheap $.

You better stop what you're sniffing,drinking or shooting up.I've never raced a super category car but know many of them here in Div 1.There is a ton of work and science in these cars,especially the S/G door cars.Go out and build one and race it and come back here and see if your statement holds water.
