Is IHRA Going Under?

[Duane Eiskant II]

So me where I said you told racers not to race with Ihra? I'll save you the time YOU CANT. I said since your post I've had people tell me they weren't going to race OVER WHAT YOU SAID. So since they all and you (yes you decided to start this after talking to a secretary) like rumors I'll share this. I've already been awarded the world championship and I don't even need to show up. Btw how's that stock super stock thing going down there?

Your quote inferred that Duane. Maybe you should have written it differently. And yes, I started this after talking to Kim, who passed herself off as something other than a secretary. I started asking about the Drag Review Magazine and SHE brought the rest up. She is STILL listed as being "Administration" on the official IHRA website. I hadn't spoken to her or even had knowledge of her ever before. I have always delt with Donna Harper who is retiring. Good for you on your World Championship (not even sure you were invited to show up).
You are the ONLY negative comment I have had about this and sort of proves you might have an agenda here.
Your comment about the SSSSA is very unnecessary and a cheap shot. We have had low car counts just like all the other Associations. At least I am trying to do something about it. What are YOU doing big mouth? Jim

BTW. I see you're #28 in IHRA D1 Stock with two races run and no rounds won! Not exactly a stellar showing ya think? Way to support the Association! Have you bothered to call Scooter to get any of the real facts?

Hey jackass I like a lot of people have been vacationing from racing for a bit BUT I kept ALL my memberships up to date and still support the event that's close to me. Learn who people are before you talk smack cause before my vacation from racing (which is over now)- I went to more Ihra races in one year then you attended in 3. As for the ssssasa or whatever it is, well I talked to manny who called joe who talked to Pete who said it's folded up. (How's it feel?) get the point now?

Does anyone know how late the gates are open Friday night for this race at Capital? Their flyer doesn't say.

Wow! I'm impressed now. Go to Memphis this year, they might let you spectate. Oh, and it feels great to be informed. As for you, maybe you should just stay out of things you have no clue about. Have a great vacation. Jim

Perhaps you would do better getting your point across if you had a better grasp on English and punctuation.

IHRA is a business for Profit, If the company is not making money, The share holders, CEO, etc. must change things to make the business profitable.

Unfortunately, change is not a good thing when it comes to drag Racers, most racers complain about everything even without change. Once a racer starts complaining and spreads the negative vibe throughout the community, it will grow and racers loose enthusiasm. This, in my opinion is happening too much. If every racer convinced 1 other racer to try an IHRA event, Car counts would double, IHRA would make a profit, and the series would survive.

Great idea Rich! Lets all try and bring one additional racer with us to our next race!! Jim

FWIW, Kim has been at IHRA for over 15 years. She was working there since before I did. She was always the lead designer of Drag Review. A lot of people had multiple titles and multiple responsibilities, even in the Bader era.

Despite the intent, this thread has made numerous racers consider giving up on IHRA. I was hearing it this weekend. Due to the rumor mill, a track operator even addressed the over 400 entries in attendance where I was this weekend over the PA that they will be racing next year.

Wow! I feel so powerful now! Anybody that would say that can't be too dedicated to the sport now can they? Please provide me with names and number so I can give them the straight scoop instead of the BS you are spreading. If you can't do that we must assume you are fibbing. You must be a Democrat. You've resorted to name calling when the facts come out. See you in Memphis, oh wait, no I won't. You can always watch on the internet I guess. Jim
