I agree, to me the cool thing is this race reminded me of racing in the 77-82 years. Kinda like when we did it for the love of racing.

This was my thought also, IHRA is a whole different vibe at the track. Nothing super fancy, haulers and teams that look like an "average" person could run. IHRA is racing event, NHRA is a circus show

I agree with Mr. Bennett. And the racing was great!. Some real close racing, lots of qualifying drama and a pile of cars. The attendance numbers have me a little baffled however. Especially since access to tickets was pretty easy as I understand.

Bobby is a good man.

"More importantly, the people who showed up seemed engaged in what was happening on the race track."

This is good stuff & very true!
I didn't miss the load of chiminilly fireworks to fog the view either.

what i enjoyed most about the nitro cars, both in qualifying and elims, was how many good runs were made vs. up in smoke.
the track delivered. without that, i think many of us would have more varied opinions. also, very nice job of drying
track on saturday and finishing under the lights.
