Is IHRA looking a little better for DP and CJ haters

Yeah, I agree, but this is a serious escalation.

Wade what you must understand is that these guys are suffering from something very similar to spousal abuse syndrome if you offer them help or a way out or an alternative they will often back away and deny that the abuse is actually occurring, sometimes they will even go as far as to justify what their abuser is actually doing to them as is often illustrated by some of the post found on this forum. All you can do is continue to offer them support and maybe one day they will decide to escape their abuser but often times it is too late. James

I think it has a lot to do with which "abuser" is offering the most contingency money.

Jim I agree with you but it's almost like the chicken or the egg, and which comes first. I think if we support IHRA with additional cars maybe the contingency money will come back. i really think IHRA is doing some things to try and make things better for sportsmen racers.
