IHRA and Memphis

[Dan Fahey]

Mike Beard makes a good point...bleeding from a thousand cuts.
One of the annoying issues with IHRA are the inoperable scales.
Having to use portable unreliable scales.

All the tracks should have professional operating scales.
MIR had operable scales. Keystone that had the portables.
MIR was 25# heavier with same amount of fuel.
At Empire barely made weight despite filling up the fuel tank full.
At MIR would have weighed 120 heavier.

This is one of the things that detracts from otherwise well run races.
I bet NHRA has proper working scales.
Just one small thing that can be corrected..

On a positive note.
Did like the fact Empire improved its rest rooms..very clean.
Guess something happened. Sunday they had portables..

Another idea...
If NHRA requires four day...IHRA might want to do that too.

Thursday arrive and Tech and night time BBQ.
Maybe a little music entertainment at night.
Some of us are musicians too. Bring the Axes!
Maybe have a car show...we got the right stuff.

Friday and Saturday are Divisional Races.
Sunday the National.
Attend all three races 15 extra points.

Do a good bit of social media to attract the curious!

Like Michael said death by a thousand cuts. I know people who had gold cards and didn't race with them this year. That's bad when you can race for free and don't go. It's like somebody else said they have lost their mojo, they don't matter anymore. I don't know how they fix it at this point, or if they can.
