IHRA raises Sportsman purses!

[Larry Munk]

I am forced by location and necessity to seriously look at the IHRA program. I've been treated well by both _HRA's in the past few years and to closely quote Dave Riberio "we need them both to be healthy" if we want a place to play. Nationals at NHRA can drag on with the need to get in the Pro show so the IHRA format may be a nice change, you can sit in the stands and watch the show without worry about being called to lanes at 10 pm or even go out the gate for a nice dinner. I think NHRA turned thier back on Virginia at exactly the wrong time this time as the track has really come around and NHRA put all of thier egges in Bruton's basket. Hope it works out for them but it sucks being in south Division 1. IHRA on the other hand just dropped some good races in my back yard. 2 days 3 days whats the diff you still have the same track time if you loose first round, if you really need that extra day off of work stop in a campground on the way home. With Hundred thousand dollar stockers out there do you think the bean counters on either side worry about a $10 or even $50 increase in gate price SERIOUSLY?
