I am simply trying to find answers and create some productive dialogue as to why the new IHRA has decided to not run any sportsman classes at probably their best facility, and definitely the largest drawing facility on tour.

We MIchigan class racers have lost the LODRS event at Stanton, MI and moved it as far away as possible in Division 3. and now we have lost class racing at the only national event in the state. I am not looking for sympathy or comparisons of other "enhancements" and geographical challenges. I am simply hoping that we can rally a stronger voice that will get the new IHRA ownership to change their mind about this decision they made.

I found out about this at the PRI show.I was disappointed as you are,but they still are going to have TWO Pro Am races the week after,as well as TWO races at the recently added Cordova National.

I doubt that they will change their mind,but I am planning on actually renewing my membership and racing with them more next year.

Keep in mind that you can still bracket race at the Northern Nitro Jam which probably will pay way more than winning in Stock would have anyways.
