& you can bet the one & only purpose IHRA is considering a change has to do with money. Don't kid yourself, everything is about the money!
just my $.02 (see even opinions have to do with money!)  |
How many races did you run last year Marc?
I operate a track and have 2 class cars and will be racing next year so I'm on both sides of the fence. If IHRA goes out of business I guess it would be better for you? Car counts are dropping, I have had 2 phone conversations with IHRA for probably 90 minutes to get the correct INFO on this and their thinking. The bottom line is over 90% of IHRA National event racers will never have a chance to run enough races to win a championship, this way they can. I also have a PRO AM at my track so it can pay me off or hit me hard. Last year my car count was down and if it doesnt get any better this year this will be my LAST YEAR having a Division 9 race. When I can run a Sunday TNT for 4 hours and make more money than a 3 day event working your *** off it is all about the dollars.
As a matter of fact I know of several track operators and I dont mean one or two that lose money on their IHRA Pro Am race every year and keep doing it for some reason. I will not do that as this is my living and I wont lose money on something year after year. So your right it is all about the money but you really have no clue about our side of the fence.
