Bowling Green does have scales and heads up racing. I'd say for the bigger money races we might even be able to get fuel checks and more exhaustive tech.

I myself am not anti IHRA, and I'm not terribly hung up on excluding IHRA classes. However, several regular attendees did complain that they felt some racers were using soft factors and soft indexes from IHRA to avoid possible heads up races and gain qualifying advantages. Given that Bowling Green is an NHRA track, the decision was made, with the support of the vast majority of racers, to run NHRA classes only. There had only been a couple of cars there that did not fit an NHRA class to begin with.
Alan, I wasn't meaning so much the softer Indexes/factors. I was referring to the IHRA-only classes (SS/Production, Stock/GT, Pure Stock and C/M Stock specifically--you could combine the Truck and EFI classes into regular Stock, ala NHRA). We have several of those that compete in our races. Last year at Hagerstown MD in November, we had fifty-five cars for the weekend. Nine of those were in the above mentioned IHRA sub-classes. I feel allowing any legal car that can compete in Stock or Super Stock, at an NHRA or IHRA event, should be welcomed at any events such as these. We don't have heads-ups in our series, but few, if any, would be switching classes just to avoid such a run. The SS/Production cars, I suppose, could cross over into SS/AS, SS/BS, etc (at a rules disadvantage). But the other sub-classes would be left out, which should not be the case for a good S/SS race for good money (Hagerstown is a $100 entry, $2,000 guaranteed race).
