Salt lake had a race the week after Fallon. That seems like a really good week if you want to get two races out of a long trip. No one can complain about not having IHRA out west if they don't show up to the events. Until the traveling racers actually show a commitment to IHRA out here why would the track owners/ operators take a chance to lose lots of money when their local racers will Support them?

The only way Bakersfield has an IHRA race is to become an IHRA track. Look at Tucson they only wanted a nitro jam and NHRA wouldn't allow it no matter what. Also, there are two IHRA tracks within 2000 miles of SoCal and I doubt there will be a scheduling conflict with Vegas again unless NHRA changes dates late.

If you want IHRA out here so bad you have to support it so if there is a conflict you decide. We drove over 2000 miles to VMP instead of the 100 to Firebird, granted it was a once in a life time opportunity but you show your support with where you race, not coming on the computer complaining about how you are treated but continuing to support the craziness.
