Re: IHRA Division 1 Schedule
Thanks, Rob!
 This schedule is a bit of a surprise!  I know that this season's Richmond race was a mess (for the IHRA, the track and the racers from outside the division who traveled there that weekend!), but not to be on the schedule for next year is problematic, as the Davis Family has put a great deal of time and money on getting the track fixed up. There's more to the story, I'm sure!

Re: IHRA Division 1 Schedule
When I started racing IHRA (points) in 2003, I had four races within one-hundred miles. One each at Dragway 42 (100 miles) and Quaker City (23) and two at Pittsburgh (85). Now, I have Pittsburgh, Empire (225-ish?) and D-42 (when/IF it ever gets finished). Everything else is over three hundred miles for me, one way. And, NHRA is just as bad for travel (except Norwalk and Columbus, which lost a race this year). Makes me glad I 'retired' in 2007.

Re: IHRA Division 1 Schedule
How can you put a Div1 race on the same date as another Div1 race and expect success? I enjoy IHRA and support them as much as possible but this schedule is not accommodating to racing both sanctions. Tough decisions to make...

Re: IHRA Division 1 Schedule
MIR was on top of Bristol last year also, I think I might do MIR this year. Bristol just isn't much fun when it's 90 something degrees.

Re: IHRA Division 1 Schedule
I don't understand how it wasn't worth the aggravation?!?!... Last year they were plagued with rain...it happens. They did a hell of job in 2012 running a double in one day! There was always spectators....
I personally don't like a D1 schedule with only 6 races, when D1 makes up majority of the racers.... |
