If it was just the cost of traveling the .90 classes would be down.
Maybe it's the enhancements? Thanks nhra

The .90 cars will always fill up the fields. Its probably what NHRA is wishing for. When enough of you stop going then they will ad the S/ST guys to national events AND/OR the new unleashed index classes. They are less trouble for them. There is always someone waiting to fill your shoes.

NitroJam in Tucson the same weekend. Bring them class cars down and have some fun.

Is IHRA running class cars at Tuscon?

This is from the IHRA website: "The inaugural Arizona Nitro Jam will feature a full ET and Junior Dragster program customized for the racers, with additional classes currently being discussed. While not on the agenda for the inaugural event, a full Nitro Jam event with all IHRA sportsman classes is the goal for the future."

You can't compare super class car count to stk and ss. Super cars are cheap to build, very easy to maintain. Most have tug boat motors, alot of them use pump gas and still cover their index by atleast one second.. I believe that 1/3 of the super racers have 2 cars, (1 S/G and 1 S/C) and enter 2 classes. They get more bang for buck at a national.
Not to mention there are 10 or more times the super racers in the USA than stk and or ss racers. Super classes will always fill up fast, nature of the beast.

Why enter now when you can wait until the last minute?

I tried to generate interest in a class car show in tucson. I got extra purse money. i got hem to structure the event so we did not have to jump through extra hoops to put it on. STILL NO INTEREST!!!!! I got 11 responses. & only 1 super stock. Every one was either going to Vegas for the double header or not going anywhere. We have no one to blame but ourselves.

Toby I could not agree more. Why does NHRA need my money two months before it has to be there.

You better stop what you're sniffing,drinking or shooting up.I've never raced a super category car but know many of them here in Div 1.There is a ton of work and science in these cars,especially the S/G door cars.Go out and build one and race it and come back here and see if your statement holds water.

I ran a s/g sst car for 18 years, and yes, my statement holds alot of water.
