LINK: http://www.racepbir.com/news-new/pbir-ne...sociation�-ihra so I guess if I race this year it will be IHRA. I am happy that we will be getting more events but a bit concerned that fees will probably go up. Last edited by modelmakerinc; 02/19/13 08:46 AM.

But to claim the 1500.00,it is a run off between the Super Pro and Pro winners. No thanks! But it is only 37 miles and testing is only 20.00...unless they raised it. I will run a few special events but that is it. And if fuel prices don't go down,there may be a lot of cars sitting it out! Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!

But it is very expensive to run National and Divisional races. National entry is $310 and crew is $85. Divisional races are $160 and crew is $70 out here anyway. Been that price for awhile.

Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

It always amazed me with the money they were paying in Stock and Super Stock you would always see fields of 10 cars in S/S and 20 in Stock. I've been to a couple NHRA divisionals lately that had almost 100 cars in Stock alone. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

So it looks like the only NHRA tracks I will run on again is the ones putting on Big $$$ Bracket races that are not so strict on the rules.
