IHRA vs NHRA

Thats Marks point. He wants to race where a good fast car can be as important as a good driver. Heads up's are very Important to him, and a part of NHRA racing that he likes.

I'd run IHRA events if they were close to me, but they are not. They are a fine organization and have very good racers racing it, But they are much more bracket orented races with barely a heads up to be found. If you showed up with a FarmAll tractor they would have a class for it . Way to many classes in IHRA. If I'm going to support a bracket type format, It will be the ECSSA that Dave Ley and Bill Holmes run. Close to my house, great payout, and great people that you race with and against.

That being said, looks like IHRA sees it differently when it comes to a special championship race. There its about how good the driver is, not about how much quicker a car is in a heads up race.
