IHRA race at SGMP

Typically the Pro Am races are 1/8th mile. On rare occasion they will run 1/4th mile. Bradenton has run 1/4th Mile in the past but that has been a few years ago. I think its really up to the track to make the call if they have the ability to run 1/4th mile. The race at SGMP could be a good turn out for an IHRA event if some of the NHRA regulars attend. They run each race to completion in one day. Saturday will have 2 qualifying runs and go right into eliminations. With it being a one day race to completion time is of the essence. With a large turn out the race can run into the wee hours of the morning. 1/4 mile racing will take more time so that might be a factor in the decision.
