"Deep historical roots" in IHRA maybe, but we have a lot of Super Modified SS cars in Div 4 NHRA, but most don't fit the IHRA rules. If they want to draw NHRA cars they need to make the rules the same. There aren't a lot of IHRA-only Stock or SS cars around here anyway.
Considering the IHRA tracks around here, they likely still wouldn't draw many cars. I ran several IHRA races a few years ago. I tried to support them. Other than Tulsa, which couldn't make any money with IHRA, none of them had room for the number of cars and big rigs an NHRA points race draws. They couldn't fit them all in.
