Ihra tucson!

[mopacltd]

That is good news, but it would be really great to see more participation from the local Stock/SuperStock community.
I will be at SIR as a spectator to show support.

Is not that what you guys asked for? More payout, IHRA & DP's & CJ's in their own class!

Kenny,

I don't know if you got my message at your shop, but I spoke with Bernie (at S.I.R.) today, and he said that I.H.R.A. needs that list you have by 03/15/11, or no go this year for the combo. I believe the call needs to go to either Bernie, or Skooter Peaco (at IHRA).

So do we have any update on car counts? I can't believe with all the complaining about NHRA and cars that are parked that we can't get this done.

Per a chat I had with both Bernie & Skooter last week, I'm the only one who's turned in my name, competition number, and car class to Skooter (so far)...they're not asking for a pre -entry financial commitment (like they were for another class---Top Dragster if I recall correctly), but there's no mention on what the entry fee would be, scale or no scale, fuel check or no fuel check....? I hope this happens, but the 15th is closing in fast, so I don't know.....all who are still REALLY interested need to either call Bernie @ S.I.R. (520) 762-9700, Skooter Peaco @ IHRA (419) 660-4217, or Kenny Newsome @ (480) 949-8227. It's up to us.....

Thanks Kenny, as you see I added myself to your list too, but I'm disheartened that you haven't heard from another 4-5 racers around here (geez, Vic would be coming here from SoCal, so I don't get it...I can think of 2 others (and one other possibility), who live in the valley but are not on this list (the 2 were on the last list you had)...they must be headed 'Vegas way???

Just to show the lack of interest I had to go back 3 pages to find this thread... but due to lack of interest there will not be a stock super stock combo in Tucson @ the IHRA nitrojam. I tried. I guess we will be seeing some of you in Vegas.

Hi Kenny, thanks for your efforts anyway though....we both tried. However, you won't see me in Vegas (until likely November). Good Luck to you there though!

I do plan on racing soon after that race though, as I'll be Denver bound to grab my car (hopefully we'll get more cooperation with the nitrojam race in SLC in June?), to bring it back here to Az.

As far as I've heard it's a go, with the hope of better participation than last year....

OH MAN!!! I would have come down from Phoenix to see that race. I have been wanting to come down to SIR and check out the racing at that track for a wile. An IHRA Super Stock show would have gotten me down there.

Well Matt (and others here), we now have another opportunity to embrace IHRA in our classes out west! See my post with regards to Div. 7 and RMR (Rocky Mountain Raceway). Last time I checked, it was on page two of the threads list, and over 120 people have read it....
