That is alot of pages huh?

I would agree with the hitting neither is good but is better to keep it on the racing surface than to go into the crowd,pits,woods or any of the other places along side of the track and concrete barriers do a way better job of doing that than the guard rails.

a stupid question...........
i read on another board someone posted that there will be no nitro at prp.

doesnt the nitro cars give the meaning nitro jam to the event?

Unless IHRA changes the format from 2010 to 2011, there will be NITRO.

A mid-season report from DRO included the following...

===========
There are three main professional classes at a Nitro Jam event.

All the Top Fuel competitors were pre-determined from the top four cars from 2009 IHRA series points championship, and at selected events two other local/regional cars are brought in.

The Pro Fuel Dragsters (A/Fuelers) and Prostalgia Funny Cars are booked from both the IHRA national rankings along with cars in the general region in which the event is run.

The remainder of the sportsman categories, similar to what is run in the NHRA race, is contested in the traditional single elimination style format.

The professional competition is based on a modified Chicago-style format.

All competitors will make two runs per day. The first session the cars are paired by either points or by draw. In the second session the cars are paired by respective elapsed times from the first run.

The two slowest cars race each other, on up to the two quickest cars of that first session. The two quickest cars then run for the “win”.

Then the next day the same process starts all over again.

Therefore every day is a new show with new winners in each of the professional categories.

So the fans will get to see all the professional cars run twice per day and the professional show lasts approximately three and a half to four hours.

The show starts at about dusk and goes into the evening so there are lots of header flames and pyro and fireworks.

The show ends with Les Shockley and his multiple engine jet semi-trucks making runs down the quarter mile at the rate of a respectable Super Pro car. The trucks are very spectacular visually.
===========

A quick spot check of the RESULTS section of IHRA's website shows that the 3 professional classes were run at each NitroJam that was checked.

In addition multiple sportsman classes were run.

For example, Rockingham's NitroJam in May had Top Fuel, Top Sportsman, Pro Fuel Dragster, Top Dragster, Prostalgia Funny Car, Super Stock, Stock, Quick Rod, Super Rod, and Hot Rod.

No need to Jeffrey, regular bracket program will be run on that day.

so there will be a reg. bracket program at the nitro jam?

Praying for no points that day. Don't need the challenge of doing well in a points program missing at least 2 races (a wedding and Bristol)....lol.

Unfortunately No points = No racers at PRP

Yes there is points !

points or no points, ill be there

Jeff...give it a shot...it's alot of fun..

thats what im thinking too, i can use the sle as a throttle stop, the car can run either SR or HR on the stop and the number is only 10 bux more on top of my ihra license

What classes EXACTLY will be racing at this Nitro Jam? Just the show cars and regular weekly bracket classes?

Yes, but besides K.B. post there has been no official statement

And I hear that it's going to be a points day

Ok. Interesting that this Nitro Jam is different than the rest of them. Wonder why they don't have the sportsman classes included? Shouldn't be much different than a "big" night of fire then.

I was thinking the same exact thing. Looks like IHRA is renting the track, doesn't it?

Looks that way. Who knows what's going on. Everyone will probably find out May 15th...
