What would U change @ IHRA

[Bryan Worner]

There are 7 sportsman eliminators in IHRA!!! If you are going to run 7 eliminators along with the pro show (4 or 5 classes) at a national event......I don't care where you are.....unless you have 10 cars in each eliminator, you need 4 days to get that race in at a decent hour on Sunday! Not running 1st round until Sunday night is totally unacceptable, rain or no rain! Get your 2 time runs on Thursday, 1 on Friday and run 1st round Friday afternoon! Just think......half the field could be home, or at another race by Saturday!

What is the difference if you take off on Thursday or Monday???? At least you can plan on taking off Thursday in advance! You're still taking another day off! IHRA does not allow for down time at their national events! Every oil down, crash or rain delay sets Sunday's finish time back!

This is not a bust on IHRA, just my reasoning why I would either have the nationals be 4 day events, or cut some eliminators at the Nationals! When the car counts get high, they can't get them all down the track in 3 days! This has been proven time after time!
