IHRA News,Rumors, Speculation

Ok, so Scott Gardner takes the job heading IHRA, he sells his tracks to the Association, and they have two IHRA races in Cordova last season. Union Grove rejoins IHRA with a well placed source telling me of the promise of an IHRA race as a sweetener to the deal. Thoughts of a Div. 5 gain a little hope.
The new IHRA schedule is out. No races at Cordova and none at Union Grove. Now I hear Gartner is gone and Royce Miller and Steve Cole are gone also. Does anybody have any more info on what is going on there? Does anybody care?

That does not sound good.

I sure care, and don't like it. Waiting for information. I was going to run IHRA this year, but that plan can easily be scrapped just like NHRA. I'm already concentrating on big money bracket racing this season. More racing, more coverage, and more money. I can supplement my schedule with S/SS Combos.

IHRA needs to get on the stick and address this.

Royce Miller might have been the only one left there to stop their downward spiral, so now I assume it will go in the tank faster than you flush a toilet.

I posted my concerns about the moves IHRA was making on another forum and got labeled a hater immediately.the issues this organization has been dealing with the last 10 to 15 yrs is crazy. I loved racing with them back in the 80's wish they would just look at then see why all these suits are messing up try keying in on sportsman and bring top stock back WITHOUT!! crate motors
This organization can be great again they just have to let the people that know racing run it. Scooter is a good man try really giving him a chance!!!!!!

No, he is NOT a good man. He is a back stabbing man.
