IHRA is seriously the way to go for sportsman racers...more bang for your buck and less fuss.

Barney B · 11-26-2008, 10:13 AM

All Provisional entries (Gold, Silver, Past Event and Past World Champions) must be completed online by Monday at 1 p.m. (Pacific time) the week of the event.[/QUOTE]

Not to pee in anyones wheaties but this is the only part of the rules that I have never agreed with. I f someone 20 years ago was a word champ they can get in any national??????

I don't see where the rest of it affects most of us.

[QUOTE=Rich67stang;93741]Chris,
and you always ask me why I run IHRA...LOL! [QUOTE]

......Ya Chris! If my calculations are correct you could travel less than 1,200 miles & run 8 IHRA Divisionals & 2 Sportsman Nationals (none of which conflict w/ the NHRA Sced.) & Have a shot @ the "BIG Invite" @ The Rock in October??!!

hope this dont kill my attempts this year..

Fast brackets or ORP points for us. $$$$ & hassle isn't worth it anymore.

I don't see how that affected any of us....so what...

the driver change thing is a huge pain in the butt...and most of us did it to get around the system anyway

besides .....there probably won't be anybody entered this year....

Go to 5-6 points races, enter a national event, race with the pros. What is the big deal? There are people out there (Chris) that enter an event with a silver card and then pull out so a friend can enter (Pete) and then get back in, all to not have the car ready for the event. That's what I get for trying to run super comp anyway.

I have a new plan to piss off NHRA this year. I am going to show up at every national event and run Super Street! I don't have a back up plan when they don't let me in though.....any ideas?

Win Epping or Budds Creek & you get a shot at the title...
