NHRA classes, heads up racing, and guaranteed purses.


By the way, please tell us how far you'd be willing to drive. It would be very helpful.
Any special reason for just NHRA classes ?

Yes, Danny. It's what 99% of the racers who have been participating requested.

Danny, you should vote, you can run NHRA classes. Honestly, if you can run NHRA classes, why not come to a combo that runs NHRA classes?

Don't like running against fi cars with a 66, 283 and a 3 tenths index hit would not be good for me either.I may could run 5 tenths under if (depends on location )..
Just don't think i would be competitive with the BIG boys....You know big fish eat little fish and my wallet won't let me be a big fish ..lol

Danny, while heads up races are possible, and we want it that way in these combo races, they are not very common. It's the fact that they can and do happen that makes things as they should be in class racing. You guys could bring both cars and odds are you won't have a heads up race.

If you either eliminate heads up races, or you allow everyone to avoid them by using "alphabet soup" classes, is it really class racing at all? The point of a Stock and Super Stock combo is to have actual class racing, with heads up races being possible. I think combining Stock and Super Stock yields enough classes in a 64 car field, or larger, to make heads up races rare enough.

Default Re: Combo Races

8hrs without hesitation, but have driven 16+ for the right race.

Both of my cars are NHRA legal now. Still have no problem with IHRA combinations. I don't think there were a staggering amount of CM or Production cars at the Combo in the Hills.

Prefer the "old" indexes.

1/8th, 1/4, 1000'... it's all good.
