And that is the Crappy part. IHRA really does care about Sportsman racing. Problem is, A lot of people won’t give it a try because NHRA is still a better bargain once you figure in all the emotional ties to NHRA, to all the racers that support them, and the limited number of races most can make. It's MY opinion that IHRA should outweigh that emotional tie with more of a financial draw. It might take a bit but people will realize it’s stupid to go race for half the money at NHRA. Then all of a sudden all of your friends are racing IHRA, and that brings more money and fun to both parties. I don't even think you need anything above T/S, T/D to make it work.
You can say it won’t work all you want, but the fact remains. What they are doing now isn't working either, at a time when NHRA has pissed off a lot of people. It’s a lot easier to raise the prize money to attract racers than it is to attract racers to raise the prize money. We all know that.
