Every event? Every other event? Or a couple of special events a year?

NHRA use to run Stock or SS Class at every national event and would alternate Stock and SS Class from one year to the next at the each events. They also ran both Stock and SS Class at all SportsNationals, Gainsville, Indy, Vegas 1 & 2...and maybe one or two west coast Nationals.

In todays national event climate, shorten schedules and shortage in staff, class is not really suited for the national event stage anymore.

I would agree that at least 2 Class runoff races per division(at divisionals/opens) + Columbus, Belle Rose and Indy would definitely be well received by all STK & SS competitors.

Any idea what tracks yet? Not class in general.

Alan works for IHRA now, the tracks listed he has no control over. I believe he is using our input for the newly structured IHRA in the future

For the people that are saying "hE dOeSnT wOrK fOr NhRa AnYmOrE"... we know lol. We are basing what we know on the only sanctioning body that runs class at all. We are making suggestions on how we would like the current sanctioning body to manage class run-offs and have IHRA mirror our requests. Given we have no idea what divs/nats will look like or consist of with IHRA, we are making suggestions on what we are already familiar with.
