Not sore if the SRA still exists but I think you are butting your head up against a wall Dounds great but no I think they just say we (Nhra) will take it under advisement but that's as far as it's going to go. FED 387

IHRA isn't dead, might be on life support but it's not dead. For those who enjoy racing and the atmosphere, IHRA is perfectly fine. And it won't cost and arm and half a leg to enter and the payouts are pretty close. Has a lot to do with location, being in NC, I'm surrounded by just as many IHRA tracks as NHRA.

What really surprises me is that it's not like
Vegas is short of pit space. At many tracks
this is a big issue but not there for sure.

Unfortunately people that want to race at national events are going to have to go more points races. It's a bad deal that NHRA has come up with. They care nothing about sportsman racers, but they are also trying to keep there own deal from dying as well.

Maybe they need to put aside s race with no AFHS and run class at it. Give out Wally trophies. 1 per division, then keep Indy the big race.

Not short of pit space but probably time limitations. Super Comp can take three hours to run one session with no oil or crashes. Seems like they get thousands of them.
By contrast eighty SuperStockers takes just a few minutes to run, i'd swap an extra hundred SS cars for a hundred less SC ones.

He doesn't have to go to Divisional races to enter National Events.

Yes, but he doesn't have to.
He doesn't need grade points to enter National Events, because he is a past World Champ
