I plan to Mike, we're in the logging business and the winter has not been kind to me. I've spent more time looking for suitable ground this year more than ever. If the things don't dry up some it may be a while before I go any where. I didn't make any IHRA races last year but hope to do some this year.

I hope to see you there. If you haven't been to Immolalee it's a fun race and the track is good. Very friendly track operator and personnel. I will be down sometime on Friday afternoon.

Exclamation Re: IHRA race at SGMP

Yup, I was wrong! All D2 races WILL be 1/8 mile. Makes no sense but the powers that be have made the decision. Orlando and SGMP are two of the finest 1/4 mile facilities in the country and they (IHRA) want to run 1/8 mile at them! I know for a fact that Ozzy and Wade do not agree with this! Please let Josh Peake (D2 DD) know how you feel about this. (803) 465-5575. jpeake@ihra.com

I think all the legitimacy they gained by putting an IHRA flag on these tracks they just lost by running these races 1/8 mile, just my opinion. They could've gained some customers by running this race 1/4 mile, especially so close in front of Gainesville. I got to admit it puts a sour taste in my mouth, as bad as I want to pull for them they continue to give me reasons not to.....

Cooter,
You been hanging with that Koolaide drinking NHRA crowd too long. For every racer they gain 1/4 mile they will loose some 1/8 the mile RACERS. Won't change car count any at all. In fact a few years ago IHRA paid $5,000 to win, ran 1/4 mile, and let NHRA RACERS compete without IHRA license or chassis certs. They still didn't come. LOL

Chip you could be right about looking some short track racers I never really thought about that but why? They run the TOC 1/4 mile so I would think everyone should have a car set up for 1/4 mile. I probably did drink too much Koolaid but it had real sugar not any of that artificial sweetener stuff!
I have always been an IHRA fan and enjoy the staff and tech personnel but I wonder if some of the people calling the shots over there really have their sh€& together.
I still have to believe running1/8 mile races at these venues will hurt their chances of attracting new customers.....

Cooter, maybe you and I both need to try hillbilly Halftracking more, so we could become RACERS, instead of just racers. I won't run half track stuff either. I like diet Dr Pepper much better than Kool Aid myself. :-)
