Has anybody heard if this series is on for 03?Haven't seen any mention of it on IHRA's web pages and wondered if Holley's financial woes might have any effect. ------------------ 63 Falcon 377 Cleveland stroker Flying Toilet alchohol injection. 6.19 @ 110 MPH 1/8 mile 2002 Ranger FX4 daily driver 2000 F350 PSD Crew cab dually - Like commuting in a B52!! 98 US Cargo Phantom II 28'

The schedule and title sponsor is late in coming DV. Holley will NOT be the sponsor as of what I heard yesterday. We are still waiting for a considerable amount of money and parts from them that is owed to us. It's doubtful that we will see either now. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member and licensed Superstock driver MCA member# 53321 NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00, '01, & '02 Fleet of FoMoCo products including 88 ASC McLaren Mustang #28 Professional Manwhore The Barry of BarrysGrrl Quote #1: "I never met a magazine mechanic I liked."

I have heard that Holley has told Primedia (or who ever owns all of the car magazines now) that they will no longer advertise in any magazines. "Everyone knows Holley, we don't need to advertise" A writer told me that most buildups will now feature Barry Grant Demon carbs. Holley must be managed by people who drive saturns....... I guess that the 351C strip dominator will not be release either.....

Geez... I know it wasn't actually said but does this mean that they're going down the poop shute? Are they going to take Hooker, Earl's, NOS, et al with them or sell them off?------------------ -Paul 70 Mach1 79 Ranchero GT 97 Expedition XLT 00 SVT f150 Lightning 4149 of 4966 Born on: 06/26/2000 'life's tough... it's tougher if you're stupid.'

IHRA has an update on their page today. They are calling it the IHRA Pro-Am now and the schedule is not released yet.Wonder if it will be as big a deal now. Guess we'll have to wait and see. ------------------ 63 Falcon 377 Cleveland stroker Flying Toilet alchohol injection. 6.19 @ 110 MPH 1/8 mile 2002 Ranger FX4 daily driver 2000 F350 PSD Crew cab dually - Like commuting in a B52!! 98 US Cargo Phantom II 28'
