The only great racing I experienced were too many single digit Super Stock fields. I don't recall more than ten or twelve. I don't know how they have stayed in business.

So I guess you won a lot of those races ?

Never said I did. It was the same guys that I saw at Div 4 NHRA races, just very few of them. It was still on small tires then, before Eastexas Racecars back-halved it. The marginal starting lines made it pretty much a crap shoot. NHRA Div 4 track prep is the best I've been on. If I never ran with anybody else, I could have left it that way. Now, it will hook anyplace. A lot of my enjoyment comes from seeing all my raceing friends. Hardly anybody ever showed up. The cars that came were friends, pretty much all hitters. Didn't take long to catch up with everybody. :-)
If it's better in your area, I am happy for you having more places to race. I ran it about 2 years before giving up. Thought it would grow, never did.

While we are on the subject of IHRA. Why do they race on Friday and Saturday? Instead of sat/sun.

What are you talking about? I wish they would race Friday and Saturday. I don't enjoy leaving the track at 5 O'clock Sunday evening and face a 6-8 hour drive home.

They ran some like that around here. I don't know if they still do. Have not run with them for a while now. Some guys need to realize not every division is run the same, or as well.

You're going to be a happy man. IHRA made a good chunk of their races fri/sat events for 2015.

It may be marketing. I bet they get more spectators when they have the Nitro Jam cars Fri. & Sat. evening rather than Sunday.

Sorry...I don't pay much attention to the Nitro Jam Schedules. I was just talking about the regular Pro-Am points races.
