CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Have you heard what IHRA is thinking of doing with the points?

As someone who has been in several finals at Nationals & Divisionals, but never won a race, I don't like this idea at all. I have run 15-20 IHRA races a year for the last few years but will not do it next year if this system is put in place. I can understand how some of you who win often don't have a problem with it but most racers are not in the same position as you.

With the new system IHRA will save over $50,000 a year by not paying the 3rd - 10th finishers in each of the sportsman catagories. Think they will add that money to event payouts?

Is the Summit All Star program going away? Without national points how would they decide who gets in that?

They already have the Summit All Star & Moser Axle Mainia Shootouts. The World Championships should not be determined by one race!
