WWD JUNK Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 The word from the horses mouth, aka. Bill Bader Sr. is that they plan to announce their plans for the 2007 season this week. No formal intentions have been expressed to either the IHRA or NHRA as of yet. Norwalk would need a slew of improvements before the NHRA could bring a national event to that venue. We'll see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr3GTP Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Me nate and tinman were at Marion about a month ago, they did absolutely no prep at all 60's were shitty at 2.5 when the sun was up and the track was warm it was biting decently, but as soon as that sun dropped the track cooled down, and in a matter of 15 minutes cars went from decently hooking to uncontrollable spinningTrue W/prep, MCIR bites pretty hard, I got my best 60' (2.09) there in the GTP, but unprepped, it's greasy. I'd love to see 'em get rid of that left-lane 'rut' too, makes for a fight in a torquey FWD car... Back on topic, I'm not really 'up to speed' on IHRA vs NHRA, but with what I'm reading here, I don't look forward to the change. My 2 favorite tracks, Milan & US 131, are both IHRA tracks, and both are clean & smooth. On a typical T&T night, a dozen or more runs can easily be had. At MCIR, they run Jr Dragsters on Fridays, and it cuts available T&T runs to between 4 & 8 on the average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten as many as 12, but not too damn often. They do run the bikes every Friday too, but the Jrs seem to take a lot longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
