Maybe IHRA doesn't care about PS if they are putting all their marbles in the nitro show/family fun aspect. But the more serious fan won't tolerate that...
In the world of drag racing they are separating themselves...not settling for being NHRA wannabes. I don't see this change putting them on the map of motorsports greatness. It's more like on a par with arena truck pulling or something...but maybe it will work for them without hurting the sportsman.

I heard that also Bruce, The Pro Stockers will defect to ADRL, Pro Mods already left, they couldnt get more than 10 Pro Mods at some events. As sportsman racers its better for us, but how long will IHRA last without a legit Professional program?, no qualifying, no real points chase? I thought it was weird when they eliminated Funny Cars from their programs a few years ago. They wont make enough money from "Sportsman events"
