I agree IHRA needs to stand up and take on NHRA.
Several recommendations were made earlier about bringing in Imports and bolstering Pure Stock would bring in more racers.

They need to take on there own personality to attract anyone interested to come and visit.

Top Fuel and Funny car are just too damn fast racking up huge insurance costs.
Paying into those Death Panel forces operators to go 1/8 mile or pinch on infrastructure.

One such simple recommendations is making Rest Room Facilities look professional and clean.
Drag Racing needs to have a more polished image which will bring in more women and kids.

Need to take on the image of a good gym with Showers.
MIR seems to have a done a major redo.

As for Pro Stock..three is nothing Stock about it.
It has gone Nascar.

Heads up racing is a great way to go and with all the new products out today.
IHRA would be wise to study the market to allow the current racer budget such seperate Heads up Super Pro Body and Rail Classes.
Standardize engines, Flat Top Pistons, Limited Lift, Spec Spring, would not even allow hood scoops.

Just NO Throttle Stop Racing !!

Another suggestion is to incorporate all the independent racing programs for Class Racing as they are well organized to make them also part of the Divisional Point Chase.
