Wonderful !
Could have been 150.
This very stream of poster talks about dropping Car Counts elsewhere.
Not the first time discussed.

I am fine with that. Upgrades are doable to find them.

Why would NHRA drop the index 3 tenths? What's wrong with where it's at. Believe me I had one of the stocker combinations that was dramatically affected when NHRA changed it. Either your car runs the number or you need to invest the time and money to get it there, everyone else does.

I just do not understand your logic that all the current rules need to bend or change for cars that do not fit the current Stock/SS rules.

I never said anything about dropping car counts, I said someone else couldn't blame our division director for lower car counts. In fact I've seen improving car counts the last couple years. You could nearly tale all the PS and CM cars in the country and couldn't have had 150. Get your story straight.

GALOT is an 1/8th mile facility.

Delusional Dan. I want 3 tenth lol.
Bracket racing is your friend.

Sean:
Should have said the IHRA Indexes..to match NHRA's.


HR:
1)
You missed what I wrote.
IHRA events a good half the cars are GT, CM and PS.
185 Stocker drivers raced at IHRA events last year.

2) There are discussions on CR about car counts being down in other areas of the country.

3) If you have not raced at an IHRA event I can understand why you think the way you do.

I had heard that they were thinking about making it a 1/4th mile track a while ago. Wasn't sure if that had been done. I like 1/8th mile racing anyway. Thanks Michael.

1) A good half is not a correct statement, maybe in your area. Of the 185 alot are already racing NHRA.
2) I have raced alot of IHRA events in the past, I preferred racing with NHRA that's where I chose to race because it was a much better experience for me.
3) You built an IHRA only car, you gambled and lost......

Go away for a few days and this thread turned into yet another ihra/nhra thread?

Stop already, talk to nhra, if they action your request, great, if they don't move on.

It is 1/8th but they ran the Lucas divisional to the 1000 ft. in all classes except stock, super stock, and comp. I think it would be cool if they would come up w/ indexes for us so we could run 1000' too. That is if Mr. Wells doesn't purchase the land at the end of the track to increase the shutdown so we can run the 1/4!
