Looks like a good opportunity to do some 1/4-mile testing with the Volare...

I'll be there with the 'wagon, although I may not get a chance to test before I leave. I'm guessing she'll weight-in close to N/SA.

One more "small" box from Summit on my doorstep should do the trick!

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

I think it would be a nice chance to show unity in the sportsman ranks. It may not be perfect for the diehard Super/Stock racer, blending the (I) and the (N) cars together. They will be operating off of IHRA rules. Also a ladder will not be established untill atleast the by-back round has been completed. Looks like the NHRA cars just got your .3 back for this one. My understanding is that class winners will be awarded based on the quailifying sheet, don't know what the prize for class is though. Here's a chance to give what you like a shot in the arm, and send a message!

It's a shame that the IHRA folks putting on this race don't really have a clue about stock and super stock. Buybacks and random pairings. They don't have this crap at their regular races. Why now? This may please the bracket racers that have a stocker but a lot of the NHRA regulars i fear will be missing. Even at our combo races in BG we have a ladder and heads up races. I hope they do well with the race. I have been very supportive to IHRA this year and plan on attending all eight of the d3 races, but these are the kinds of gimmicks that I fell will keep a lot of NHRA racers away.

X's 2 but Im thinking it has more to do with Royce Miller (track owner) than IHRA. Thats just my opinion as he is afraid the car count wont support the purse. He dosent know squat about stock or S/S and is an old S/C racer. Of course IHRA management needs to come a long way also.

OK, so this race isn't perfect! Name one format that everyone can agree on! It's still an excellent opportunity for all of us to support a sanctioning body that has continually tried to make a difference. Royce Miller is a very good businessman, and he's well aware that he can't stay in business by loosing money. Let's show him and everyone else that we really do care about the future of Stock and Super Stock class racing! We have a real chance to make a success of this, and those things that don't work can be fixed for the next time.

Just my two cents!

Lew
