A question for the IHRA guys

[Ed Wright]

I asked here at Tulsa why they (IHRA) scheduled a race the same weekend as Topeka. The answer was "We posted our's first." It was the week before Indy, always that weekend. Texas cars, of course, drove right by on their way to Topeka, then Indy. That was before so many began to go to Bowling Green. They did not seem to grasp they need to accept they are the "Jr Tour", and to draw cars they need to pick weekends NHRA is not racing near by. If the tracks want to draw cars they need to think the same way also. Some guys will go if they don't have an NHRA points or national event they need to attend. Of course, some won't go anyway. Not sure why on that last one.

Probably hard to accept you need to schedule around the "big guys", but sometimes that's life.
