Default Re: Interest in Modified?

If it wasn't for IHRA there are a lot of Stock, Super Stock & Modified racers that would not have never run class IHRA brought class racing to the South, in particilar, NC,SC,TN, &Va. In the 70's & early to mid 80's, IHRA had 20-30 "WCS" races. That allowed a lot of racers to get there feet wet in class racing at the local level. NHRA had little to offer in those areas at that time, and frankly, it's not much better now. There are a lot of NHRA class racers that got their start with IHRA over the years. I agree that there are things that need to changed or tweeked, but so does the NHRA. Look at the NHRA schedule, 1 Nat'l event in NC, not running SS, no points races, 1 Nat'l.& 1 points race in Va, 1 Nat'l in the eastern part of TN., 0 Nat'l or points races in SC. For those of you not in these area's, this may not mean much to you. But for those of us who have jobs with not a lot of vacation time or in a sales/commision job where you lose money by not being at work, this is a huge factor in where & which organization we choose to spend our money with. So, before kicking IHRA in the dirt, take a look at NHRA and see how much they have done for the class racers in the last 10 years. 50% of what I read on this forum is compliants about how the NHRA is treating the sportsman racers. Each Association serves it purpose for class racing, in different ways.
