Default DHRA & Eric McBride Say No To Drag Racers

Those of you who have competed in DHRA events in the past and plan to next season need to read this thread. After reading it I wont be competing in a DHRA event next year and I hope you will consider the same. This has gone on long enough and its time we join the "Professionals" in the sport and build an organization by the racers for the racers and fans.

ive seen that coming for along time.......heck look at their pulling rules for the 3.0 and Mod classes.....its like super and pro stock tractors.....only difference in the rules is the turbo setup, a single for the 3.0 and about anything else for the Mod trucks......oh and mod your allowed tube chassis.....so 2 rules differences....


only class most guys can run in is stock turbo but its trophy only and 2.6 is WAAAAYYYYY out of the question with what these guys are spending on motors.....

Troy Wakerman won the Street Diesel class pull in Houston. When he was was in-line getting teched they said he had an illegal turbo and couldnt pull. His crew changed out the turbo in less than 30 minutes and he went on to win the class with a 375.03 ft pull. It was later determined that his original turbo WAS NOT illegal.

DHRA is losing my attention, their events are not nearly as entertaining as other like (Schieds).

at the Washington Court House pull this year the DHRA had less trucks show up on saturday than the Friday night show, the brush pull friday was 10 times better than the DHRA pull saturday.......only reason it was better was the Mod trucks were there.....

So the mods didnt run in the DHRA event? Thats a statement right there in itself. They, of course where forced to at the Nationals or they couldnt win the divisions.
