What a shame to see it go away, we have had a lot of great years racing and meeting new friends from all over the country but it will never be like it once was. That said, I don't think it is all Mike Dunn's fault, the ground work was laid by the previous regime.

I think you have to remember that IHRA has been bought and sold twice in the last 10 years. They are currently owned by IRG, an insurance company. You have to know that whatever happens, good or bad, it is not without approval of the "mother" company. It IS possible that Dunn was brought in to slice and dice IHRA into an all "Pro" Nitro WWF style show. After all money is the root of all evil, right? Jim

BTW - I have a call in to Scooter and Mike.
