Hot news flash: Stk/superstock combo race at indy

[JeremyDuncan]

I'll be at IRP that weekend. 12+ hrs closer than numida and pays 4X as much as ihra pts race. That a no brainer!

Hopefully it goes over good and they'll have more of them!

And you get paid all of it there.

Hey guys, I was there at the conversation about having the race, and I can tell you that all involved were NOT interested in conflicting with another race, just thinking of a way to help bump the attendance and give the Sportsman guys a chance to make some more money without breaking the bank traveling... since this is still in the planning stages, maybe the week before can be accommodated if the week after has so many conflicts. Give John and Kurt a chance to put this thing together.

Jeremy, you wouldn't race an IHRA race if it was across the street from your house. So many of you think so short term.

I have raced IHRA before in fact I won a IHRA pts race a long while back. I have no axe to grind with them or NHRA for that matter. I chose to race the races that have the most APPEAL to me. And a $4000 combo race hour and half from my house with NHRA tech there (Bruce), on a 1/4 mile track, and with heads up runs is very APPEALING to me. Especially if you are allowed to leave your trailer there over the week in between with security present.

I doubt it will pull any cars from Van Poppel & Zane's race. And I doubt it will affect the IHRA pts race car count in London by more than 10%. So maybe 4 total less Stock and Super Stockers. It won't make or break either race.

Speaking of short term, not to long ago on here you were pushing everyone to support your local Stock/SS associations and combo races. Well this is one more LOCAL combo race that needs our support......................

Completely agree 100%.

Jeremy, I support our local combo races which is more than you do. Andrew and I both are at BG and Ohio Valley most of the time there is a combo race. To schedule this deal on top of the other two races is a little suspicious.

I am glad you find 1/8 mile racing, buybacks, random card draw pairing, and questionable track prep appealing. I don't.......

As far as Bowling Green combos My Father and myself have raced them in the past and will race some in the future. I have work and Family events that have to be balanced with racing and can not make every one.

Hope to see you and Andrew at the races this year. Good Luck buddy!
