You would think those people would *rather* run IHRA, where they don't have to run heads-up against the new factory race cars. They also don't run heads-up against those "other" classes, either. It's also worth pointing out that there are 0 Pure Stockers in Div. 4, and only a couple of Crate Motor cars. It stands to reason that it's not the cars that are bogus, but the argument.

I used to work for IHRA back in the day, and all we heard was, "We'll come race with you if you change such-n-such." If that got changed, they still didn't come, and they came up with another excuse. The bottom line is that they simply didn't want to. Not enough people supported them when they were at their strongest, so now they're having to rebuild from a weaker position. NHRA *needs* competition to make them better.
