It's a shame NHRA turned their back on it ! I would think a sponsor would step up and cover the costs involved to run it at least at National events. Like Jeg's or Summit,Lucas, Coca Cola or someone.
But there are a lot like mine just gathering dust in a drawer.....:-)

x2, I got to use mine a grand total of 1 race! I had hoped this wasnt a dead issue. If no one from iCard is going to pursue it, I would like to formally request a partial refund. I bought mine at Memphis national event and used it on that saturday. It makes me feel like someone knew this was on the horizon and all they did was collect my money.

Pretty much the entire history of the thing as far as I'm concerned. There was no possible way for it to make money the way it was set up, and yet people were still promoting and selling the systems.

Not to hijack the thread, but I was at the Mecum auction in Indy last weekend. It was an unbelievable collection of lightweights, musclecars, and bunch of interesting stuff. You would have enjoyed yourself.

I know other car racing series use it ,even the local gokart track uses it.And I think some Sporty Car series use it...
Sponsoring the I-Card wouln't cost much and would get a lot of attention for the sponsor.
COME ON JEG'S ....STEP UP TO THE PLATE !! :-)

You mean just because they did not have an ongoing revenue stream after they sold everyone the boxes?

Bingo!

While I don't hold an MBA and didn't stay in a Holiday Inn last night, in my humble opinion I don't think even Bernie Madoff could have made THAT plan work.
