The fact that TPG went from largest private equity firm to fifth largest in one year (per the chart posted above) is a good indicator that they've gotten into drag racing!

You know the old joke - "How do you make a small fortune in drag racing?"

IHRA just announced that it will no longer offering Drag Review in print, now on-line only. Disappointing decision.

X2 hard to sell a sponsorship deal when you can't even show them your car in print anymore . very disappointing. Personally I'm just about done with Ihra unless they can find some sponsorship (decal) money. I got runner-up in my other car at Mir national last year and nothing was printed about that class 11.50 index at all

I used to enjoy Drag Review the most, compared to ND and Drag News (when it was around). Each year, and month it has become less and less.

If they are only going to offer it online now, theoretically a membership should not cost as much anymore. I am sure there is still some membership base who probably does not have online access. How long until they kill the paper rulebooks?

X3 - I absolutely hate reading any type of articles on line. I like the hard copies. Besides, if I do read anything in Drag Review online, I am going to have to drag my computer into the bathroom LOL.
