Billy,
None of us missed that point, but I guess we all assumed they would have 8 car fields.
I remember Polburn saying only the Top 10 members from the previous year would be "invited". So I guess the assumtion was there they would have 8 of each booked in class.
TF, PF and NFC are the 3 standard classes at all events this year, with 2-3 "optional" classes added based on the track owners request.
They going to run the Nitro harleys at few events this year not sure witch events

the tracks basically get to pick off a menu as to what they want at their events
and judging by the capacity crowds that I saw on Friday and Saturday night and the enthusiasm of all the fans that I had a chance to talk to, I don't think the IHRA would mind if you stayed home and *****ed while the people who are going to appreciate the show they are getting for $25 come out to race track

I know its the first one, so I am being cautious with this question, but maybe you had to be there. 4 TF cars, 4 Pro Fueler's 8 Prostalgia car's....thats it? Where's the WOW factor IHRA promised was coming with this new format??
Was it a dud? 3 pro categories only?
By my count that means 16 nitro cars were there. How many nitro cars did the average IHRA event have last year?
When was the last time you could go to your local track and see 16 nitro cars run on a Friday night.
I think it was a pretty cool deal for what it is. It was entertaining, didn't cost an arm and a leg, and there was plenty of nitro. I've not had that experience since I was a kid when we'd go to OCIR.

And Mike didn't say what KIND of car either. I could see Mike in a sweet mini-van.

Well, yeah I guess having 16 nitro cars is/was pretty cool. It's 4 or so more than what we had for the '09 Rockies but I'm not sure that I'd count the NFC's (or even Pro Fuel) in that. Yes, they all do run nitro and have plenty of fumes, but for me a nitro class has to have jaw-dropping performance. I mean absolutely no disrepect to the NFC and A/FD guys - I love those cars but without 4's and 300's like Top Fuel there's something missing from the show.
Yes, pretty cool to see 16 nitro cars on a Friday night. But not very cool to see 4 TF's, 4 Pro Fuel and 8 Nostalgia FC's at something that USED to be called a National event and USED to have double the # of TF's and some "real" (fast) FC's...
The car counts are for the dealerships! The IHRA is officially the DEAD ZONE!!!!
Got a lifestyle is racing where they WANT YOU to race. I will be happy with a few races a year where they want me -vs- IHRA where aaron and scooter hate everyone....
