Still working on that idea and others. Ive only spoken to Jim Woods aka Tanker so far. Have to wait and see and other things are more pressing right now. I need to run all ideas past Alex before I make any comments on certain things. I believe he will make a post on this forum in the next week or two about all of this.

I still believe that S & SS is a very valuable untapped resource. All that is needed is for someone to sell it. If you dont try to sell it, then it probably wont be sold.

I firmly believe that it is up to us to sell ourselves as the current sanctioning bodies have already informed us they arent interested in selling us. I was watching the "Sportsman" broadcast on ESPN2 and they showed all Alcohol cars, then listed the winners without even a picture of the other Sportsmen at the end. Why? when SS and S was voted the highest draw in NHRA's own pole?

Let us do it ourselves! No one else is going to do it, but us.

Would IHRA S/SS cars be eligible or just NHRA?

We (US Class Nats) incorporated IHRA classes with NHRA, the classes that are the same in NHRA & IHRA was ran at NHRA weight breaks, and indexes and some of the lower classes in Stock that had major weight break combo's we put an "I" before the class, like IW/SA.

I havent compared the lower classes in a few years but I think IHRA made thier wt breaks to match NHRA??? The FI cars and carburated cars will be just as NHRA runs thiers in this deal. As Ive said before there are way to many classes.
