Gotta love that... I just wish more nitrous cars were in the mix, and I really wish they'd wake up and allow TURBOS!
Turbos are legal in IHRA Pro Mod.
I sure wish NHRA would invite more then just the same 24 cars every race! And Yes more NOS cars would be great!
Could it have anything to do with the rumoured demise of the class in IHRA and a collective effort is underway to show racer support?
I'm having a problem trying to understand the HUGE turnout in Pro Mod over the last few races. Starting in far-away Edmonton where we had 27 show up, then on to Martin where there was another huge field (too lazy to check, but there were a lot) and now 42 at Norwalk. All these cars trying to get into a 16 car field.
I know that this is racing and one cannot apply rational thought, but how could anyone justify spending the money to get to the track, pay the crew, buy the parts, etc. when there's only a 38% chance of getting to race?
I'm glad that so many teams are doing this, but it seems to defy reason and economics. Could it have anything to do with the rumoured demise of the class in IHRA and a collective effort is underway to show racer support?

There isn't much to elaborate on, Brian. As stated in the letter, we just want to race, and along with that comes the fun. So we went where we thought we had a chance to actually compete in eliminations.
Unfortunately, outside of the camaraderie with our friends and the fans, there just isn't a lot of fun to be had at IHRA this season.
