Needless to say it rained before we got to run...again.

Now we know our priority in points races, so we plan to attend the least amount as possible. Of course why run for poor pay outs anyway? Thus our "no SeaDoo" policy.

I have scheduled race series before for a number of years and it is very difficult to keep everyone happy. The Martin race is a welcome two day race where we as sportsman racers are the focus not the Pros.

Box, what is the payout for the IHRA Sportsman race?

Grand Bend was a grand plus all those wonderful stickers. There was 200.00 cheque from Clevite right then and there. That was the Sunday race. Not sure what Saturday paid.

There was a young man killed, last year if I remember correctly, at Martin when he lost control of his snowmobile.

Looking at other discussions on class racer, people wondering why NHRA can't do double week ends, I think IHRA is right on . Having these double Pro Am races is great . I think we should be supporting IHRA as much as we can.

I like double pro am, I have tryed to figure out though,back when it was single pro am at Mt.Park clay city KY we would have 50-60 stockers 50-60 super stockers show up.
Doubles get 17-25, I know there are several things that changed about the same time, IHRA split into divisions, started doubles and economy went bad,I don't know if it was one change by itself or combination of all three, while division 3 IHRA has struggled.in KY,division 3 in KY NHRA has seemed to keep going strong.
