How do you get (N) racers over to the (I) side

What would it take to get the NHRA sportsman racers to support the IHRA more? Try to be serious with your answers, because they could bring about change for the positive. I do know that there are many racers that support both bodies. And there are some that just can't seem to do it. I understand the rules enforcement issues, and some difference in class structure. I know the difference in the race tracks themselves, but from the starting line to the finish line the racing seems the same (other than 1/4 vs. 1/8). Then there's the money.......but if you loose first or second round....you came away with more....cause the entry was less (thats 75% of the competitors for each race). I would bet that there are a few things that (I) does, that (N) folks would like to see on there side.

I'm just wondering what a NHRA sportsman racer would have to see, to think to themselves....hey, I think I'm gonna try some of that IHRA stuff!

Remember folks, you never know who might see some of your good ideas! I know....you said it once, and you'll say it again. My thing is keep saying it...till the right people hear it!
