It's about being a good consumer, you're either a good consumer or your not. What you buy in terms of quality makes it so. Let's Face it, NHRA is not a good quality anymore and haven't been since early 2000's.

This is the 1st time I've stayed in and watched an entire drag racong event, the quality of their captured moments in the event was better than I've ever seen. The top end interviews were fantastic. The staging lane interviews caught racong like it is, nervous, not loose.

I can't wait to see the pinnacle of IHRA at Milan Dragway home together for a historic weekend of Nitro methane racing.

On the IHRA website the stock indexes are the same as NHRA is that correct?

Everything i saw looked great and i cant wait to get to one. Definitely gonna try the galot race. As far as the tv coverage goes it was the best i have seen. It was like watching on tv and very well produced and put together. The fact they interviewed the sportsman winners and showed them some love was great. The coverage was 10x better then flo and 100x better than nhratv.

I was very skeptical about the whole thing but i think they are off to a great start

No, the first crack at it they had a couple indexes wrong and Andy Kronenbitter and myself went up in the tower to get it corrected. IHRA uses NHRA indexes and adds .3 to them. They had some with IHRA, some with NHRA indexes. They were super tankful we told them and appreciated the help.

this IHRA will be HUGELY successful.

Everybody is talking about low car court at this event, on the west coast it is a sad state at this point, the quota for Sonoma is 60, the race is in 2 weeks and 22 cars have register.

Someone told me Junior Dragster is the future, maybe they will step up and fill the quota.

Next up...maybe IHRA can get a robust contingency program put together, take care of sponsors and don't abuse them, and really add to what a trip to the final round amounts to.

Decent turnout at Woodburn but for Seattle there?s only 29 stockers and 25 super stockers (with other classes also low)?remember Bandimere having some pretty low numbers but don?t recall Seattle and Sonoma being this low. The west coast is certainly in a precarious situation and NHRA has certainly played a role in that so thinking IHRA may have played a winning hand in keeping east of the Mississippi alive and well.
