Default Re: Soon to be live from IHRA Mardi Gras Nitro Jam

It wasn't the IHRA officials that were disorganized when I was there. It was the locals. I had to ride across the property with the ownner (?) to another gate to use a credit card to pay for my entry. He said "IHRA could take credit cards at the pit gate at the national event, but we aren't wired for that."
Yeah, laptops with wireless cards are really cool. Lol

you're absolutely right Ed. IHRA's staff did an excellent job. Even had a chance yesterday evening to talk to Scooter for a few. I like what IHRA is doing, its the exact reverse of what NHRA is doing. IHRA is using a booked in pro show (which packed the house Sat night) to be able to give the sportsman racers a National event. Due to a massive oildown at some point yesterday afternoon a few classes first round were postponed till this morning. That was the only real hiccup either sat or sunday. There were 38 stockers, and 22 SS. I think the stocker count was decent considering there was an NHRA points race a little more than 500 miles away (g'ville). I think the biggest issue at state capital was space, I'm sure the track will work on a better flow into the staging lanes for next year.

All said, I had a good time despite Cooter welding me to the starting line with a .002 light. I tried to take the stripe but broke out by .001 and still got there second. Of course had I even come close to having a pulse on the starting line, that would have helped.

I will definitely attend more IHRA Nitro Jams and Pro-Ams this year, I think everyone should give it a shot if there is one near you.
