No Sportsman at Northern Nitro Jam

[DBi Racing]

I am not looking to start another bashing of the IHRA, because I have had some great times at IHRA events. I am also not looking to start yet another debate on why NHRA cars don't go to IHRA events, because we have gotten no where with that one. I am simply trying to find answers and create some productive dialogue as to why the new IHRA has decided to not run any sportsman classes at probably their best facility, and definitely the largest drawing facility on tour.

We MIchigan class racers have lost the LODRS event at Stanton, MI and moved it as far away as possible in Division 3. and now we have lost class racing at the only national event in the state. I am not looking for sympathy or comparisons of other "enhancements" and geographical challenges. I am simply hoping that we can rally a stronger voice that will get the new IHRA ownership to change their mind about this decision they made.
