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

Although a bracket racer, I think it's worth pointing this out... here's a guy with a great attitude: http://www.ihra.com/article/7232.html

I totally agree Mr Beard I think everyone up here should take a moment and read this article. In the end it doesn't matter if you are an I or a N we are all racers and die hard or we wouldn't be up here moaning and groaning, we are truly blessed to do what we do and would continue to do so if there was no contengecies or huge purses. It is a critical time for the sport that we all love and we need to put aside these lame excuses and do what is best for our sport. I am not saying that IHRA has the answer but I believe they are heading in the right direction, and that is our direction with the sportsman racer in mind. I ask that the N guys keep an open mind and maybe even help to support this move with their participation when able. Let's keep it real and remember how lucky we are and there are far worse places in the world, we do this because we love it so let's do everything we can to keep it going.

I think one thing that really kills it in the Midwest is the fact that many tracks switch sanctioning bodies every 5 years or so. We used to have quite a few IHRA tracks within 3 hours of Chicago, but I think all but Byron and 41 are now back to NHRA, and Byron is considering switching back according to their website.

66, Cordova, Tri-State, Union Grove, Coles County, Oceola, all NHRA.

41 has been outlaw for a few years, but that's another story............
