Alan, Andrew and I would come to Jackson for a two or three race deal but it's just too far for a regular combo. From my shop in Jeffersonville it's probably 340-350 miles. We would also like Memphis for a bigger money deal.

I would drive at least eight hours for that kind of payout.....Maybe farther. I am in Ark, so unless its way up north it shouldnt be too bad for me. If its anywhere in the midwest or south I will go.

Alan with fuel prices what they are and working around our jobs a 2 day race with a maximun of 300 miles would make sense, now about the heads up and IHRA class cars, why don't we forget about heads up runs and let everyone run off their own dial in. The only stipulation would be that the cars are stock or super stock in their own sanctioning bodies. My $.02.

DW explained the HP differences well. I would like to point out, however, that it's not all one-way. My HP rating is HIGHER in IHRA. I support having heads-up runs. As Alan said, they're few and far between anyway, but it's part of what makes class racing, class racing. Overall, I like Mike Carr's suggestion of "if the car fits both sanctions, it must run the NHRA version", although he does rightfully point out that the FWD classes are incredibly jacked up on the NHRA side, but I guess it is what it is. Doubt anyone cares about those 2 cars on the planet... ![]() I'd like to see something at Memphis, just because I've never been there. BG is good too, of course.

I cannot speak for what will happen at Memphis, I want to be VERY clear on that. I did hear that it would open in July some time. That is ALL I know.

Alan, why not compromise and run off the "old" nhra indexes (current ihra indexes) but run nhra classes only. Sounds like that might help Danny and bring in some ihra cars that can't currently hit the nhra index (myself included). In the current cost-cutting economy, run 1/8th mile even at beech bend (less fuel and wear and tear). Lastly, 5-6 hour tow from So. In. would be my limit.

Currently, the Bowling Green races are 1/4 mile, and they are likely to stay that way, simply because whether we like it or not, the cars are built for LODRS races and national events, which are 1/4 mile, as such, racers tend to use any race to improve their 1/4 mile program. Now, the Jackson track we raced at Saturday is an 1/8 mile track. I do realize that the distance there is a problem for you. Again, thank you to all who have voted, and thank you to those who have given time/distance limits, the input is very helpful and appreciated.
