What you need to realize is
a) SS gets paid well for a 3 or 4 rd race. With contingency most winners can leave there with $5,000.
b) With Qualifying on race day you only have to be there 1 day.
c) If car counts don't increase we won't be having this conversation. Our next one will go something like this: Remember the Good Ole Days when IHRA had SS and MODIFIED.
Part of this has already happened.
You hit the nail right on the head there big boy. In time we wont have to worry about any one with a stocker or S/S running IHRA. Then all of you will start crying when your taking it up the shorts with more and more enhancements.
