IHRA Super Stock Final

In the prior day's race, the runner up was listed in GT/DA. I'd bet there was a typo in the stats that put him in GT/EA.

I might be wrong but I think Brian,s car is a GT/DA . We were parked next to him this weekend, but we left before the finals. The races were good both days . It rained this morning. After the track crew got the track dryed ,[The track crew did an excellent job all weekend] Everyone got there time run. Then 1 st round for all classes. Also Saturday after final runs, the track had a big Barbeque for everyone it was excellent. Thanks Kenney Kelley

Car counts were about normal for an IHRA points race in Florida. We did run 1/8 mile. Every super stock car there was a regular NHRA racer. The track was really good all weekend. My car was deadly consistent all weekend. The driver sucked though. Brien Radley kicked my butt 1st round both days. The track also hosted a real good racer appreciation BBQ on Saturday evening. This was a well run event. I just dont get why they don't get more support from the racers.

Mike, I think the big reason for low car count in Bradenton is the distance. I have 2 cars and would loved to have raced their this past weekend but I am 500 miles one way from Bradenton. 2 cars entry for both races $540.00 then the fuel to go and come and the other expence it would cost $1200.00-$1400.00. I am retired so I have to pick the races that are close to me. It is good that IHRA has many Tracks that you car race at but some racers just cant afford to travel 500 miles from home.

Was this not a heads up run?

I would've gone but Piedmont also had an IHRA race and it is 90 miles for me.
Congrats to all the finalist
