Your certain IHRA official was stupid in the sense that he "claimed" sportsman racing would go away. Looks to me like this could ratched sportsman racing into an even higher place in the sport than what it has been in the past.
If sportsman racing is still tied to national events, and the NHRA name is marketed succesfully with the deep pockets it will now have, this thing we call sportsman racing could really get big.
So, the facts may actually prove that your "certain IHRA official" was totally wrong. He has very little wisdom to offer.
