One solution to the money problem for Nitro cars & Too many sportsman classes(sportsmen not getting enough runs) would be take all the sponsor money that is gathered & used to clutter the track with all these Shootouts & pay for the Nitro class. The spectators don't understand the shootouts & they only help the touring or Pro/Semi Pro Sportsman racers. Let's face it they just get in the way & take up time. Why not Give the money these sponsors spend on shootouts back to the little guy in the form of expanded purses. Get back to the grassroots that supported IHRA. Oh yea, Didn't they do away with Modified because of too many classes? Now they don't have time for the other classes with all the "Special "races inside a race. Go figure.
