Default Re: Is IHRA Going Under?

Pinballer had some valid points, most first time spectators do not grasp the handicap start system, much less the 90 classes with their throttle stops etc. I often thought that the announcers could help in that area, by explaining briefly, the differences between classes or class racing and bracket racing. I'm a poor drag race spectator, mostly because I have been a race for many years. BUT If we can make the sport more understandable for the fans to watch, and they fill the stands every week end as they did years ago, perhaps the current problems at IHRA would not exist! Just my two cents on the subject!
