Maple Grove- IHRA (6 Viewers)

[Rajunz]

We will have to wait and see won't we? Sounds like that's what you want to happen. I disagree and think Scott, Mike Dan, Del, Lex et al put on a pretty damn good show. Plus the Pro Mod Classes are excellent. Altereds are cool. Top fuel bikes next year(real top fuel, plus the Harleys). I'm just as excited to go to a couple of IHRA races as I am to go to a couple of NHRA races. MIR is and hour and a half from home

Not at all what I want to see happen, it's just what I have seen in the last year. I want Drag Racing to thrive more than anyone, it's my life long passion. And also, you're fricking clueless about TDS. You have ZERO clue.

Has the owners of Maple Grove stated why the sold the track to the IHRA? if so I've missed it.

Did anyone actually think that NHRA would host their National Event at a racetrack sanctioned by another sanctioning body with different a rulebook, different track preparations, different track lengths and most importantly different insurance policies? Not to mention paying your competition Large Cash to do so???

IHRA thought they were slick, waiting until the last day of PRI, laughing while making this announcement, knowing full well that NHRA couldn't take them up on it. And now IHRA is playing like they’re the the ones that are being disrespected? Oh please now!!!

Not to mention that NHRA would have to race on a Lime Green track with DARANA RACEWAY, Moulton, Pa. Signage everywhere??? RIP Maple Grove!

Doesn’t NHRA do there own track prep at all there races now, track all ready has infrastructure for 1/8, 1,000 and quarter mile clocks, at tracks they don’t own they still use their own insurance, rules and track prep, safety crew, track prep equipment and crew and NHRA race management travel to each show no matter who owns facilities, green paint could be dealt with very easy
