Hagen, I hear what you're saying. I think IHRA has a great opportunity to attract more racers right now but their payouts are not good. I would either hire someone to try and get the contingencies up or use someone that is already working for the organization to do the same. It's kind of like the chicken or the egg, which comes first? If they had bigger payouts I know their fields would increase. I guess I still don't know why some racers will tow 600 miles for an NHRA points race and won't go 200 miles for an IHRA one.
