Div6 IHRA schedule

Hey Phillip,

They have the same posting on the Castrol Raceway Site and my understanding is that they will be running Stock and SS as separate classes which would be great. Hopefully they can get good support as it would make for more class racing closer to home for me.

Are you planning on going?

I plan on going to the race at Eagle (Ashcroft), Probably run stock and super stock and it might be fun to set a record while we are there. I'm not sure about any of the other race's though. Depends on if I can win a little travel $$$$.

If you do try to set the record be sure to show up Friday with the head off so they can have the time to certify the engine. THEN make your record runs after you reassemble it. Also they way things are going with IHRA I would call Mike Baker to be sure they will have the right tech people there that will know what they are doing and looking at since its on the other side of the planet from North Carolina......LOL.

Thanks Terry,
I did plan on calling to make sure that they would have staff there, I did that when I set the NHRA record at Portland in 2009. I think I'm the only reason the tech guy's brought there equipment.LOL

Looking forward to all the additional stock and super stock events, I should be able to make all 5 events lets hope some of the NHRA faithful at least dip their toes into the new pool. As an added bonus all cars are 3 tenths faster with out twisting a wrench.... haha. I wonder what the scale situation is going to be in Ashcroft?

GarysZ24 · 02-22-2011, 08:53 PM

Phillip, this is why I'm glad that Tucson just joined IHRA, and also why I'm looking forward to waking my car up from it's Div. 5 area slumber to go racing again. I'm planning on running that Rocky Mountain Race too (I hope they get Stock/Super Stock back into their show/).

Dion, that's the biggest thing to make me grin (other than S.I.R. voting in the IHRA this year)is that added 3 tenths bonus that we'll get...but I'll have to get a new letter pack due to DF/S being a stick class in IHRA!

Darcy Clarke · 02-22-2011, 09:17 PM

I agree with you Dion, the scale the last time I was there was unusable and would affect any record setting and ensuring legal weights. If everything goes well I will as well be able to go to all five and if they have separate classes then I could as well run both.

The 3 tenths is nice as well as some more relaxed horsepowers as will as Fuel Injected classes which helps slow old cars like my 2.

We will as well be holding the Thunder in The Valley race again this year on the same weekend. So this means 8 events within 8 hours for me which is 5 more than last year, much more affordable.

OK what does this race compare to is it like a divisional race? This is the closest IHRA race we have in the northwest it is about 6 hours away from Seattle could draw some good car count. Ashcoft is one of my favorite tracks. There is no other major race conflicks with this one. Early in the year and a weekend before a divisonal at Mission B.C. Hopefully a lot of stockers, SuperStocker, Super classes and bracket cars will support this race by showing up. Will do some research to find out more. Anybody out west been to one of these races I think Faul has won a couple of there National event. Looking foward to this new race series.

If anyone wants to leave they're tow rig or trailer close to Mission after the Ashcroft race I'm 25 miles from the track and 3 miles from the Aldergrove border crossing and have plenty of room here at the house..

west coast · 02-24-2011, 01:02 AM

Phillip may need to take you up on the offer. I dont think you can leave your trailer in Canada for the week in between at Mission? Seardhing IHRA site for stock car classification guide could not find do they use NHRA guide and weight breaks?
