Heck, at some races, 5th round is the Final round, and you're in the sticker money... even earlier in Super Stock sometimes.
National Events/Nitro Jams... NHRA now at $305, IHRA $200.

Which is why I hope IHRA will be successful in latching on to more tracks out here in the western half of our great country, so we westerners will have another option for our racing dollars. It's interesting that IHRA is so much smaller a sanctioning body nationally than the NHRA is, yet they have "9" divisions, while NHRA only has "7" (and they cover much more land)? NHRA claims to care about good competition...well let's get IHRA out here close to their turf (Glendora), and we'll see how they really take to some real competition???
