Doug, they supposedly already have a D5 for IHRA, but it's only a select number of tracks, and it's not as far west as NHRA's D5 (meaning no Colorado, Wyoming, or Saskatchewan, Canada), and their D5 has some tracks that for the NHRA, would be in their D3 states. Moreover, one of their best track aquisitions (imho), was Thunder Valley Dragway, in Marion, SD. They have primarily been racing under bracket racing only programs, but I'm not sure honestly what's going on up there? Hopefully someone who lives in the area, may correct me on their D5 stuff, but they're about as strong, as IHRA's D7...

As for a specific answer to that question, I doubt if D5 (NHRA) will go IHRA, because Bandimere Speedway, Brainerd, and Heartland Park are too strong (not to mention several other tracks near to each of them). However, who would've thought Southwestern International Raceway in Tucson would go IHRA, and they unanimously voted in favor of switching 2.5yrs ago?
