Question Re: Big sportsman payout increase at IHRA National Events

Hmmm. Anybody know what happened to Darlington, SC in Div. 2?
It looks like Div. 2 racers will have to travel to 2 out of division races to get their max of 8.

Is if your selling fuel. If I bought more diesel than last year, Jeanie would move me out.

The IHRA/NHRA schedule for DIV1 is great, with no conflicts (for me anyway) and spread throughout the year with a lot of options. Glad I have 2 motors for next season. We are spoiled here in the northeast.

Cool Re: Big sportsman payout increase at IHRA National Events

I am a bit confused, the div 1 schedule says MIR as a national but div.9 can claim it as a in div. points race. will div 1 be able to claim it as well? and if so, as an in div or out?

Unhappy Re: Big sportsman payout increase at IHRA National Events

Nobody is going to go to West Palm for a one race national event as opposed to a two race event at Darlington. Stupid decision. All they have done is make it tougher for the D2 racers. Jim

The facility has gone downhill there. A shame.

That is the case with every division except for Div. 3, but we'd have to travel quite a bit to get 8 "In" as most of the races are singles.

There are several events that serve as a wild card which can be claimed as an In-Division claim for two different divisions.

MIR 1 & 9
Carolina 2 & 9
Pittsburgh 1 & 3

Palm Beach and Darlington were never on the same date, so there is no basis for comparison. Darlington was dropped on its own merits (or lack thereof). Again, I like the place, but it's sorely in need of a lot of attention. And for the record, when I lived in NC, I attended one-race national events at Palm Beach more than once.



After attending 0 IHRA events in 2014, I'm looking forward to next season... so far I have 6 LODRS, 4 NHRA Nat'l, 5 Pro-Ams, 4 IHRA Nat'ls, 8+ big money races, 3 expos/trade shows, and 5 Loose Rocker events on my calendar... with a couple of holes to fill yet!

I'd let my membership lapse in October. I'm going to sign back up now.

$.02,

Bad news for me was the loss of the Darlington race and Rockingham. Great news for me is quarter mile racing returns to Rockingham (NHRA).
