When almost no cars or spectators show up, and pretty much no contingency sponsors, it is dying.

My business is 45 years old. I can tell when one is dying. IHRA is dying.

You do not speak for me!
I ran Stock in 1972 and 73 with a 64 Impala SS.
Know the rules and what happened then.
Remember arguments what NHRA considered Legal despite the PN recorded.
Had to run the pistons in the stock position.
Ran off the national records instead of the index.
If you ran low 12's you were considered screaming fast.
Later ran a 69 Impala in M/SA until marriage and family took center stage.

IHRA has never been a popular as NHRA.
Even NASCAR is having issues.
