Actually Car counts for the sportsman is only down 6 cars from last years race. Thats not too bad considering the economy we are in. I had originally planned on going to this race then head south to Texas for the div and sportsnationals next week. The reason I did not was Rockingham rescheduled for next week and it's only 45 miles from here.
I think IHRA is on to something with the 2 day national events.

In the past you had some of the so called "HITTERS" in IHRA that would flock to these low car count races to get some easy points. Without a national points system thats not the case anymore. Someone posted on another thread that Englishtown had mainly Division 1 cars there this year and the Nationals look like they were becoming more regionalized. This could be the case with the IHRA events in Dallas and Tulsa. Before you start throwing Rocks at a sanctioned event look at all the factors involved.

Are you telling me that there was only 9 or 10 stockers at a IHRA national event. I thought drag racing was on a comeback!
