I know exactly what your talking about. We went to every IHRA race within 800 miles of us a couple years ago. Even made a cross country trip to the Rock and hung out in the cold rain for 4 days for no reason. I get it. If you want to race, you'll be there. Problem is that neither org is making it worth it finacially, and IHRA won't get the cars just because they put on a good race and they are nice to you. Its still a better value to save vacation time and money for NHRA races. I guess I'll be like most other racers and be drawn to the glory of NHRA untill IHRA makes it worth it for us to travel. If you asked me 2 years ago, I'd say that was the dumb move and you have to support IHRA if you want them to succeed. Well, Good word hasn't brought anyone over. Wonder if money would. We might just have a mental breakthrough with these $5,000 to win IHRA races coming up. To bad they arn't anywhere around us.
