IHRA Div. 2 - Carolina

Rollins_2241 · 05-02-2008, 02:52 PM

It seems like everyone I race in NHRA S/ST went to Staples this year...on the other hand brackets has been reasonably enjoyable in the W-L ratio. Anyway I really like the track and wish it wasn't 20 miles from a hotel and Applebee's. It's probably the only IHRA race I'll go to this year.

Dear Duck, just a little food for thought. There is a very nice Malibu(former Wayne Gooden car) sitting in my enclosed trailer just waiting for a motor. It could be done in time for a trip down south later in the summer or fall and I think you remember what happens when JOE COOL puts his mind to something. It might be better for you to go North. See ya soon(LOL), Mike

Yup. Believe it or not, I've still got your #35 decals in the back of the truck, in case I run into you somewhere. ;-) Oh, and I get asked about the Duckbrella everywhere I go (when it rains at least). I always tell people that no one is smiling when it's raining at a race track, but the Duckbrella normally gets them to crack a smile.

Get to work! It'd be good to see you out again.

Send me 5k or find me a sponser and we will be out in a week or two. (LOL) Mike. Hope to see you soon, take care.

Michael you going to Mooresville? You just might see "Joe Cool" their driving a car with two extra doors & with an engine that has two less cyl!

Michael Beard · 05-03-2008, 10:24 AM

Yup. H*ll, I *have* to, since IHRA rescheduled the Mooresville rainout on top of the Milan Pro-Am, which I would've gone to otherwise, but now I'd have to pay $100 to transfer two entries to two different tracks.

Which brings us back to the original point - why reschedule around other events, but put your own races on top of your own events?

Mike Galuk · 05-03-2008, 02:55 PM

Michael, trust me I'm not trying to be a smart ***, but have you asked anyone with IHRA what their reasoning was for stacking these events? There might be a sensible answer, check with whomever is in charge of making this type of a call. Mike
