IHRA going back to class racing

Looks like Darlington is going to NHRA. I figured that would be one of the places where they would of had a Nitrojam.

Well, the numbers are the numbers, and I can only assume your source for those numbers is accurate. But boy do I feel like I have to brake quite a bit more at national trails than I do at Norwalk. Don?t get me wrong, I love both tracks. But trails sure ? feels? like a shorter shutdown. Likely just gravity interfering.
Off topic, but the whole track is downhill at Cecil. One of the reasons you see such quick runs there. If you sit on the right side stands and look at the track compared to the left side stands (which I can only assume are installed level) it?s incredibly apparent.

Now the IHRA has changed hands.

Darlington was not with IHRA anymore anyway they have been a WDRA the last couple of years. Hopefully we can get a D2 division race there soon.

ANOTHER benefit of running a U/SA!

(how much shut down do you need for 89mph?? LOL)

This is not true, they literally hosted the IHRA team finals this year, which I was at lol

I have mixed emotions about the change. I hate IHRA won't have a nitrojam in my backyard, but I love the idea of having another divisional right here at home and maybe a national open or two.

According to the IHRA website, suppose to be a track partner announcement today. Also a big announcement on Jan.2.
We'll see what happens.

They went back to IHRA recently, now they announced they are going to NHRA. Galot is leaving NHRA and going to WDRA, it?s hard to keep up with.

With Darlington leaving IHRA I don?t know where on the east coast they have a Nitrojam, unless another track switches to IHRA.

Looks like it will be Memphis
