Rumors:
I am posting some information that floated around at the IHRA race this past weekend... Now i am wondering how the Sportsman racers would feel...
There are people who are looking at a one race runoff at the end of the year for the World Championship. Criteria, if you win a National event or Divisional you qualify... How would this make you look at racing? I understand that it is a very good source inside the IHRA HQ, So fire away, send some emails, make some posts... I know there are things that seem unclear about IHRA and its future... And we have heard nothing from the sources to be.... |

Re: Rumors:
In the old days NHRA did that with the World Finals. Amy Faulk won it, was named world champion for that year, and caught h#$ll for years to come. It'll never work.

Re: Rumors:
i was going to say, back in the day for the World Championship they invited the top 8 from each eliminator and those drivers raced for the championship.
But this could get interesting for sure. |

Re: Rumors:
I hate the idea, what if you won 3 races and had a huge points lead, but something kept you from attending that last race?

Re: Rumors:
I heard from a very realiable source this past weekend that this is very very likely to happen next season. He heard it from a member of IHRA management I think this is a bizarre idea, and one I may not be willing to support. In my opinion if they think car counts are down now, wait untill this change is made. If they feel the NEED to change something, why not have a shootout for the championship compromised of the 6 division champs and the national top ten.

Re: Rumors:
Why not just leave it alone?! If it ain't broke don't try to fix it. IHRA is notorius for trying to reinvent the wheel!

Re: Rumors:
Just think of the money everyone will save: you win the divisional and you don't have to attend any other races until The Finals. So in reality, you could be the class champion by attending 2 events.
