Weather was a slight factor for Napierville, but the track and event were top notch.....I will do it every year they have it. Napierville followed by LV divisional can stretch many a bit thin for time, etc, workloads don't go away either! I couldn't swing it this weekend. But one thing is 100% clear, no one should be crying that there are not opportunities in the North with the 10K at Numidia, the 10K at Napierville and this race at MIR. All have plenty of dough for the tow. Look at the racers who have made all three events, they are real sportsman supporters. I know the Gafneys did, not sure who else, a lot of others made 2. Good luck all at MIR. Eric |

Man I wish we were there! maybe we can make it to the one at Virginia in the fall. Enjoyed all the publicity Dad and all the other top 10 IHRA all time sportsman national event winners received. It brought back a lot of memories to see dad's picture and name in the magazines. Good luck to everybody that is there! Hope to see all our friends soon!

My view from the bleachers (hopefully not too much longer)......
The wife and I came to watch as our only way to support the sportsman that we plan to join soon. The track and staff were all top shelf. We met some great racers too. Although I know many folks dislike the buy back format, why not look at it as an insurance policy after a long tow? Lord knows, no matter what class you run in we have all had a first round car or driver glitch at some point and everyone that made the call for second round today won a round to get there. |
Re: LIVE from IHRA Sportsman Spectacular @ MIR
Good post FS. I am like you ...hoping to be able to join the Sportsman ranks on a regular basis here real soon. Maybe if were both lucky we will be able to add two more entries to the Oct. race at VMP.

Re: LIVE from IHRA Sportsman Spectacular @ MIR
If the buy backs are a big problem why not put them in a separate eliminator? Let them race for half the buy back $$$ or something. Every one wins this way. They are going to buy back in anyway so let them have there own race. The winners still win and the losers still have shot at a little $$$ and get to make some passes.

If you build it, they will come" is also true in drag racing. If you build a quality relationship with the racer they will come. I think that a lot of racer wanted to see the response of MIR and Royce Miller is on the right track with buy backs. Dan, Royce is an anarchist!lol Claude
