The AHRA is back in action. Lots of guys thought the AHRA was tops back in the day. I wish them all the luck. I would hope they see the nostalgia movement is alive and well. Check it out. http://ahradragracing.com/AHRA_HOME.html
Would be nice to see something like the old AHRA around. I don't think it will ever be anywhere near what the NHRA is but there is a bunch of sportsman racers out there that are sick of the NHRA BS.
Ya I hope it's nothing like NHRA. F%#& 300 mph billboards, gimme a 41 willys and Jungle pam on my lap!!!!!
We need something to replace the NHRA. As they move more to the pro ranks in an attempt to market themselves, they are throwing out the racers and fans that brought them to this point. I'd venture that the majority of drag racers do it "for the love" and not for the money. The NHRA no longer speaks for them.
We raced a few of there tracks back in the day, looking forward to their thoughts of class' for older rails? I have not been to NHRA track for over 20 years. Maybe this will bring back real class racing, with good heads up style.
It's cool to hear they're back and I hope they are successful. Hopefully they will accept some input from the fans & the racers that are actually building the cars & spending the $$$. I can't imagine any way for the NHRA to make drag racing less entertaining.
If I remember correctly, I read a few years back, there was still 1 AHRA sanctioned track in operation......maybe in Washington State....I forget.
Why can't we just have some tracks like we use to ? Was really nice to just go and have some fun ! RetroJim
i hope they do because in my eyes all the nhra wants is big money cars!!i for one dont have that and im positive that most people dont.if you arnt a big name racer they want nothing do do with you.just my .02!!
Just looking at their classes, it doesn't look like it has anything to do with grass roots, build it from the bottom, get racing off the streets: TOP FUEL FUNNY CAR PRO ALCOHOL DRAGSTER PRO ALCOHOL FUNNY CAR PRO STOCK PRO BIKE yawn... They got a CEO and President. All they need now is a few multi-million sponsor dollars!
They just updated the classes http://ahradragracing.com/CLASSES.html They also have nostalgia classes!!! Funny Car, Fuel Altereds, Front Engine Dragsters. Looks like it could be very cool.
The CEO of AHRA's last name is "Moe." Y'all might want to investigate the name Orville "Moe" with Spokane Raceway. Caveat Emptor! Mark
BEELINE BEELINE BEELINE BEELINE If you say it softly, it's almost like praying!!! Wow that was wierd, even for me! But it would be cool!
They also list a full group of sportsman type classes too. If you read the website they want to be more grass roots "AHRA has posted our competition classes for the 2010 season. You can view them under our web page “Classes”, listed on the header above. It is important to note at our 2010 “Reunion Tour” events, that the schedule will include many of these classes, but not necessarily all of them. AHRA will be adjusting to each market/ regional track in order to increase car counts and competition. This will also allow participants to have a competitive class without increasing expenses to the competitor. We encourage your input/ inquiry on this subject. Please submit your comments to info@ahradragracing.com."
Troy is the nephew of Orville Moe, who helped lead the push to oust Orville out of the Spokane Raceway
