IHRA going back to class racing

[1320racer]

Again, the IHRA has been a clown show for the last 20 years with numerous owners so why would anybody think this time is going to be any different especially with this guy at the helm?

Maybe so, but a $5million sponsorship is definitely a step in the right direction lol. Who knows where that money will end up, but it's hard to argue with at the moment.

They've been posting that they've already sold many many new memberships just in the last few weeks since PRI. Judging by this image IHRA posted, it looks like they've sold around 900 memberships since the event. I'm not sure exactly how much a membership is, but if it's $100 or so, that's $90,000.

Time will tell but history says it will fail again and it doesn’t help that the guy running it has a shady rep .

They posted about "possibly" going back to Memphis but, just looking at the pics I've seen of the track, it's going to need A LOT of work to get it back up and running to it's old self.

Do they still own that track or did some holding company buy it? It was a nice place to race but the video posted on Facebook looked like it would be a big investment to get it back in shape.

Its wild to me that IHRA only has a little over 2000 members

and counting!

I hope it is a huge success. nhra needs the competition and maybe it will get better. I am pulling for them. But they need to do something with wdra. It is killing them the way i see it.

ep-dont.be a hater 1290. We need more options for this dying sport we love

[1320racer]

Not a hater, just stating the truth. It won’t survive. As for the dying sport we love well I’ll probably be retired from crewing and driving before class racing car counts in stock, super stock and comp dwindle drastically or not depending on where we end up retiring to.
