From what I understand,this is for ONE race that theoretically only the best drivers will be participating in.If there is a very populated class,somebody could feasibly win 5 or 6 rounds of heads up races with a fast car that they don't even own.It could be borrowed for just this ONE race.I think they made a good decision on this.Like I said before,IHRA could have FREE entry and $1000 cash for first round losers at all events and some would still be upset.Since I race both sanctioning bodies,my car is built to NHRA rules.I didn't even realize until reading another thread that IHRA doesn't care what size rods you run or what the weight of your pistons are,or what your cylinder head volume is.That could be a real disadvantage racing somebody in the same class..Its tough to please everyone.I'm not saying this just because I have a slow car.
