Almack, they used to let IHRA cars run but at the last race announced it will be NHRA cars only.

Guys , it's for NHRA and IHRA cars. The thing that changes from now on is that if your car has a NHRA class you have to use that index and horsepower rating. If you are a crate motor car or some other class NHRA does not have you can race off IHRA indexes and horsepower ratings. Remember Bowling Green is an NHRA track and will use their indexes and hp ratings where appropriate.

Mike you can race your car. We don't have many IHRA Cars but you would be welcome. The next races are the weekend of August 7th and 8th, Saturday night and Sunday, two races on one weekend.

Edit: Does the Beech Bend combo meets use 1/4 mile or 1/8th mile runs ?

IHRA cars are welcome at Ohio Valley also. Rules like Bowling Green. Bowling Green is 1/4 mile and Ohio Valley is 1/8 mile.

Now I have more motivation to build a stocker knowing I have a couple of places to run it other than divisional events. ![]() Am I correct in assuming that these combo meets are "all run" events as long as the drivers runs under their index ?

With my luck, by the time I get my car ready, the S/SS combo meets will be dying out. That's been my luck with hobbies, by the time I'm ready to play, the playgrounds are closing up. I do have regrets since trying to get back into racing, wish we hadn't quit 20 years ago. Life takes different turns for all of us. If I had my car ready, it'd be coming to the meets, running under the index or not. Until a car gets sorted out, EVERY pass is a practice pass. Besides everyone loves a first round gimmee, don't they?

I can relate to what you are saying ! The T-Bird in my avatar was bought in 1999 with the intention of running it in Stock . For years I worked on that car making it NHRA legal, but eventually put a big block in it. Now, in order for me to run the combo races at Beech Bend I'll have to put a turbo 4 cylinder in it to make it NHRA legal. Oh well.........back to the drawing board ![]()
