I guess it’s my fault for bringing this subject up under IHRA. You loyalist are so amped up to protect IHRA, that you confuse the issue. I just thought it might be an interesting point to bring up about how unfair the payout structure is at what is suppose to be a National Event. Like I said before, I expect my friends to be fair to me. This S#!t ain't fair no matter how you slice it. I said alot of things in this thread that apparently some people have a hard time comprehending, cuz they keep on making ignorant comments like "go build a T/S car." How is that constructive?

Its the Legendary Hagen Gary! He talks ****, hates IHRA and complains about everything. I think if you looked into me (I use my real name) you would know that’s not the case. God forbid I bring up one thing I feel is unfair to every S/SS and .90 car. Some dude is going to sit on his computer and judge my intentions when he aint got a clue who I am, or how much I have supported IHRA. It’s not about the money, It’s about the morality of two classes taking home 3 times as much as any comparable class.

Do you think I would come on this forum and air this out if I didn't have firsthand knowledge of Scooter hearing this very argument over a year ago? I guess so, cuz its on classracer with all the keyboard racers. He provided the same reasoning I have heard here. He needs more cars. Well, they aint coming with this payout a year and a half later.

Next time I'll name the thread "The evil NHRA policies spill over to poor ole IHRA" I might get some support on pure emotion. I believe that if you offer more money to be won, you will get people to tow from further away, which will lead to more cars. I'm not saying do it for divisional races, But this thread is about the payout for The Mardi Gras National! Fairness People, that’s all I'm asking. I'll park way in the back and let a T/S car have his 40ft of asphalt for a car whose doors come off. But this payout structure is out of control. It caters to two classes leaving the rest of us showing up because its in the neighborhood. IHRA is doing exactly opposite of what I think they should do to attract more cars from NHRA at a time that’s right for the picking. Offer more money! If you build it, they will come. How is everyone so excited about all of the combo races when they don't even have the tech that IHRA has? Its because of the money goof ball.
