Re: I'm confused about IHRA's Sportsman friendliness
 

Dont tell me what I think I am, I dont think I am a Pro, Im a Sportsman racer. This is your opinion of the class, you should stick to the subject of equal payouts and stop bashing other classes. If you step back and look, all class cars are overpriced bracket cars. If someone has 150k to spend on a car, God bless him/her, I see Hemi Cudas and Darts that cost as much as TS cars.....who cares?

LOL....I knew I could count on you for a response. Hook, Line, and sinker !

Gary,
I guess it's not fair that SS gets more money than HR. HR usually has double to triple the car count. Maybe we don't deserve it though because of our cheap cars.LOL

You never did say what the Purse has to do with the friendliness of IHRA.

Re: I'm confused about IHRA's Sportsman friendliness
 

I don't need a payout calculator to point out that those two $5,000 races are on your schedule because the risk vs reward is favorable. If IHRA were to give SS the same payout as T/S (not sayin they should be equal) then it would take 40 cars to pay it off. With that kind of money, I feel confident that 40 will show. Thats way better than a NHRA Div. As it stands, BR will be lucky to get the 15 cars it needs to pay off the current SS payout. Those extra cars usally come with a crew memeber or two, so that is money lost at the gate if you can't get them out to the track. See my point. In all actualality, you only need 30 cars and thier crew to pay the purse. If IHRA would increase the purse like this at all thier events, it wouldn't take long in my opinion to draw alot of NHRA only support.

Re: I'm confused about IHRA's Sportsman friendliness
 

You clearly have a problem with reading comprehension. Is the separation between what SS gets paid and H/R 3 times the amount? I thought not. quit trying to be whitty. Read again. I'm arguing for your purse to be raised too

Re: I'm confused about IHRA's Sportsman friendliness
 

Gary,
Your post title says it all you are definately COnfused.

Answer the question.

WHAT DOES PAYOUT HAVE TO DO WITH FRIENDLINESS?

By the way Ihra did increase the payouts and purse structure at national last year.
It was'nt much but it was a step.

Re: I'm confused about IHRA's Sportsman friendliness
 

Said it twice already, but one more time for the man who calls himself The Legend. I expect my friends to be fair to me. This unequal distrubution of prize money aint very friendly. Do you allways get confused if the title of a book doesn't compleatly match the story?

Re: I'm confused about IHRA's Sportsman friendliness
 

I got a great idea. Buy a T/S car then you can run for more money.
