I'm confused about IHRA's Sportsman friendliness

[Hagen Gary]

My bad, you guys are all right. no way should I question the very thing that people come to the races to win. Maybee I should just do like all you old boys and continue to take it in the shorts and just pay my entry and not worry. Well, I can tell you one thing. People my age arn't that stupid, and maybee thats why S/SS is dieing off with all the old addicts. I should just build a fast bracket car cuz the payout is better, right? You people tear me up with wanting it both ways. Your not going to get people in the class if its stupid to run it.

BTW, when I was in NC for 2009 TOC, the et bracket program had the best payout on the grounds by far. Don't tell me they don't run for anything

[Michael Beard]

Guess so, because T/S, T/D, Comp, T/AD, and TA/FC all get paid more than S/SS in NHRA, too.

What's your proposed entry fee and payout structure for Stock and Super Stock?

...and how many cars will come to participate in it?

This isn't about wanting anyone elses payout. Its about attracting more cars in every class. Your not going to get any NHRA only regulars to come out for this. Your solution is to stear me away from S/SS or any .90 car and say "go build a T/S car". Great logic there buddy.

No, I think we're all trying to figure out what is it *exactly* that you want?

[RJ Sledge]

Hey Michael did you not post before about not having the time to race because you were 3 or 4 weeks behind? Go back to work and then enjoy the races, its not worth your time and frustration trying to convince somebody about IHRA. Enjoy yourself life is short.

I have to agree with RJ. Regardless of anyone's attempt to convert someone over to IHRA, there are just racers who stick with NHRA. I personally have no problem with racing in either. Racing is racing and thats what I love to do.Not complain about car counts, HP ratings, or treatment of sportsman vs pros at the track. I however do feel there will be a increase in car counts for IHRA events this year. Good Luck to everyone in 2011.

i have run both sides ,winnings from each santioning body spend the same way.ihra is more laid back

[d1hitter]

don't know about your car but my stocker is a Terrible ET car!
Are you for real? last time I was @ a Div. race or Nat. , stockers had shoe polish on the window and if you ran out you lost, just like a footbrake( ET). car .
You guys need to get over yourselves .

I just wanted to say the ET race at the 09 TOC was for the summit super series race which is a totally different ET program at the national events....im just curious how much is NHRA going to pay those Alcky funnies this weekend for the short field per rd won...

Well, great! Looking forward to seeing all of you at Virginia and MIR for the Sportsman Spectacular races. $5,000 to win plus National event contingency. Everything you've asked for.

When are these races? I would love to go, even if I am in Arkansas. Beats divisional races for sure.
