Well, that's a revolting development.................

Division 1 competitors that were there get a race credit with NO points and the rest of us get nothing. They managed to complete the two races at MIR last year without any major problems, and it was a Division 1 claimer only. This year it's a single Division 1/9 event.

I'm sure this schedule makes sense to somebody, but I'm having a hard time understanding it!

I'm sure there must be a good reason, but it does seem a little strange.
I'm kind of glad thought because I really didn't want to go to Budds Creek.

I'm not quite sure what is going on with IHRA, when the new owners took over I was hoping for bigger and better things and so far haven't seen it. For me in division 9 it has got worse with Rockingham going back to NHRA it would require quite a bit of travel to run the IHRA sschedule. I personally didn't have the time to try and run both sanctions so I decided if I was going to have to travel that much to run a division schedule it was better for me to run NHRA this year, at least I could run 1/4 mile races.

I've seen several people complain about the Division 9 "travel" schedule. No offense, but those people are spoiled. I live in Ohio now, and have Div. 9 races that are closer for me than some *IN*-Division races! People seem to forget that we used to have to go to 3-6 National events and traveled all over the country. We are not competing for a 'state/local championship'.

Even with the schedule changes, a racer in central NC could get all 7 points claims in around 1,700 miles. I have already traveled further than that to get TWO points claims. Appreciate what you have.

$.02,

Michael don't get me wrong I'm not complaining I live on the coast so I'm accustomed to being close to nothing but water. But as you said you live in Ohio and have division 9 races closer than some in-division races, something doesn't seem right there. I'm never going to complain about driving distance to a race when the alternative is not being able to race. I had to decide which way to go and NHRA was the better of the two for me at this time although I hope to squeeze an IHRA race or two in later.

[Bryan Worner]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Nitro Jam race count for Division points?

[BEDMINSTER DODGE]

Yes the Nitro Jam does count for Division points
