Re: IHRA Just Sold
It will be interesting to see if or how this affects stock and super stock. I have not renewed my membership this year because I was not happy with how IHRA ran us. No heads up in certain races and scales that broke and weren't fixed. It was like all the things that made us different than bracket cars didn't really concern them. Not to mention buybacks. I feel like there is a big opportunity for them to attract a bunch of stock and super stock racers. They need to be open minded and discuss their plans with people and be receptive to feedback from racers and sponsors.

Re: IHRA Just Sold
I am cautiously optimistic!
Something needed to change, and I hope this is the right direction. 33 ProMods in TX, and maybe more than that at Rockingham a few years... they had GREAT car counts in all the sportsman classes at one time. While I know the economy has hurt a lot of things... that is not the only reason for the drop in car count at IHRA races. The current IHRA is not the same as it was in the mid 90's thur about 2005? I still feel they are more sportsman friendly than NHRA, but they have slowly lost touch with the sportsman racers, and they have quit working to make sportsman racing a key focus. NHRA always had more contingency money on the table, but the split was much closer than it is now... That will take some work by IHRA to get back on par, and I feel this is a big part of getting more sportsman cars back in the pits. This has not seemed to be a focus for them for several years now... I just paid my membership again a few weeks ago... and plan to race as much as possible this year. I want them to get better and I will support IHRA. Lets just hope the new owners have some focus on supporting the sportsmen racers again! Ken |

Re: IHRA Just Sold
Top Stock would be fun again, no crate motors or nitrous, hell even my old bomb made the show. We would do it again. Joe Jr. dust of the Tiger car!

Re: IHRA Just Sold
Pro Mods or TOP STOCK Pitch one and lets get started. Top Stock would be great but I cannot find how the original rules used were written. Any one have them? Race one race and CiC for the next by .05 less than the fast car runs. That would even the combos after one or two races....Pay top Qualifier to keep them running all out or give a bye also.
