What would U change @ IHRA

I like all of your point Damien. One more I would like to see is change the qualifying format in the Rod classes back to being based on ET only. It's too dang confusing now because of the runs that get thrown out due to breakouts and red lights.

For the Friday-Saturday vs. the Saturday-Sunday thing, if races went to Friday-Saturday, many racers would probably even need to take off on Thursday in order to make the first time shot on Friday. So, now you'd be taking 2 days off instead of none or 1 depending upon how well you did on Sunday.

Bader had a few National events scheduled so that final eliminations were run on Saturday, but it didn't take too long for those to be changed back to final eliminations on Sunday. I'm guessing there was a good reason they were changed back, be it racer feedback, less money for the track operators, or something else entirely.
