NHRA?

[stevedellinger]

Does anyone know if the track will be NHRA or not this year? I know there are alot of people that are wanting to know so if someone could please let us know we would appreciate it. THANKS

This will be up for Discussion with our racers at the banquet. If you want say so please be in Canton Saturday night!!

I don't care if it is NHRA or not. I keep my membership up, and my car leagle so i can race anywhere i want. Midstate is my home track, and for the last few years I have raced only there, i will race there as long as they will have me, NHRA or not. Most of the racers i have talked to feel the same.

Thank you Mike. Hope you can come to the banquet

Well what was figured out at the banquet about the track being NHRA or not?

[jacklyn]

No not yet. Half want it,half don't.

We are expiring our options and will post it as soon as possible. BTW Steve which way do you vote?

[stevedellinger]

I am great just having a place to race. It realy doesn't matter to me one way or the other but I know some people are interested in the NHRA type of track so they would beable to run @ Indy.

if half want it, whats the problem, it wont hurt the rest that dont, and more optioins for those that do. harley

I understand Indy being fun and all but last year Eric Moran got down to the final four in bikes and got a whoppin' 200 dollars... I'd rather the track NOT be NHRA. They dont do anything to support the racers that support them. Just the chefs opinion.

[johnperko]

nhra or ihra,or outlaw independed,im sure the racers just want a track to race on,as we have none in my area but yours,a saction body is good to ru for points to go to the et finals

[chadisley]

Being NHRA leaves the door open. Ask Jimmie or Bruce if they like the bracket finals or not. It's also a great time to race as a team instead of beating each others' brains out.

I made it down to four cars in 2008 and recieved $800.If it's a problem raising the $500 to join as stated Saturday night I bet the 32 racers wanting to go to Indy would chip in the additional $16 bucks a piece to cover the $500.At least Eric got 200...I drove to Pomona three times and made it down to four cars every time and didnt bring home a dime for my efforts, but I still want a chance to go again.

First, just wanted to say how much I enjoyed racing at Midstate last year. It was my first time racing "full time" down there and I can't say enough about the track, staff and racers - really a great dragstrip with some top-notch drivers.

That being said, Cordova is 30 minutes from my house and even closer for Brian. We chose to drive 2 hours to Midstate for one reason - the chance to race at INDY! Just my 2 cents...

Jacklyn just dont forget about the jr.s as we did talk at the banquet their are about 6 or 7 of us that look forward to the div.3 race every year.. "kids".. and a couple run Bristol also and I know you are aware without nhra we wont be able to do this.....hopefuly you guys get it ironed out and we have another good year of racing p.s. its nice when the tracks only 5 minutes from your house ;D

[chrishunter]

to me its all about the kids/jrs being able to run div 3 and bristol if we can and having insurance coverage cause we have a lis..on the money thing jrs dont make scwat for $$/tracks BREAD AND BUTTER$$$ and i remember gettn a $7.50 win check back in the late 90s for bike class.if ya think your gonna get rich racing,better find another HOBBY.
if i read j barrett right its all about loven the sport not the $$,even with all of jimmys winnings$$$ bet he spent more for that love!
nhra for me
if aint broke dont fix it
