They didn't give preference to the Pros over the sportsmen. Plus for some reason it seemed that you where not rushed like they do in NHRA. They also made you fill like your opinion meant something. You will always have those that will drive by an IHRA race to go to an NHRA race an get treated like crap, but what can you do ; some people just don't see the forest for the trees.

The very first IHRA National event that I ever attended had some rain.After they dried the track,they went right into the PROs.(skipped the Sportsman)This was when they actually had PROs.
And IHRA can treat you like crap too.They actually would not let me pit with my parents,because we "didn't arrive together".
With the contingency of today's IHRA,you could WIN the race and probably still not break even for the weekend.
