As far as I'm concerned IHRA has many idea's and problems that I do not care for. I wish they would ask for racers input to see what would be required to get the racer in this division support. Money is not the problem.

Thanks Jerry Davis

Hi Jerry, can you tell us what you don't like about IHRA events? I have always been treated well at any IHRA event I attended. There are lots of complaints on this forum about the lack of pay at any or all NHRA events, so IHRA says Ok, we will put up the money and no one shows up. I remember back in 90's when Bristol was IHRA, they put up $2000.00 to win stock so I went ...

I think the only way racers will support IHRA on a SEMI-Regular basis is to swallow their pride and realize there are other options to NHRA. I'm not badmouthing either organization by no means. In fact my future plans do include both organizations.

I would have been there if my car had been ready, the old man thats working on my car is really slow and not very talented, plus I sold the motor out of the car and am in process of building a new one. Kirk decide to sell his car the week after the Nitro Jam win, so he also was afoot.

I do not relish the fact that its nearly 100 degrees now and the track at San Antonio is not known as a parts breaker because of the "KILLER" starting line and IHRA never seems to have any ideas on how to improve the situation, but thats just my opinion.

We are building a new car for next year and most of our time, money and effort is spoken for at the present.

Again, we would have been in attendance if the situation had been different.
