IHRA the good ol days

[Ed Fernandez]

I think Pro Stock left because of the lack of payout for,for the investment made in these cars.Correct me if I'm wrong.
Dennis Anderson owns IHRA?
Which brings up a question in my mind.Is IHRA a for profit organization as opposed to NHRA being a so called not for profit?

I think you're right Ed, they MMPS didnt agree with the new format, no qualifying, no traditional points chase, lack of sponsorship and payout. Its like an invite only Chicago style runoff, a one night show with the winner getting an Ironman.
The MMPSA has their own race series now. Those cars are cool.

I think someone (like owners of race tracks Rock, MIR, Darlington, Piedmont, An Ohio Track, VMP, etc. ) is missing out on a golden opportunity of starting a new racing association (Like the old IHRA). I have been running IHRA since 1982. Back then
they mainly raced in NC, VA, TN, SC, OH, etc. It was a southeast based association.I think we have to get back to basics. Also I agree Pro Stock and Pro Mod has to come back to bring fans back. Just my opinion

I really miss watching Top Stock. The crate motors were the demise of top stock. When it was a,b, and c cars running at 8.25 wt. break it was awesome and it could be again.

Just a little insight, We have kept stock/superstock alive and making a format almost perfect for the sportsman competitors....(sportsman schedule ,way better )
(1) We kept the FI cars seperate from the traditional classes
(2) We also made a class of their own for the new Mustangs and Drag Pack cars
(3) Top Stock ,well that just got out of hand (sorry )
(4) And just maybe Pro-Stock ain't exactly gone , If you look at the 2010 rule book you will notice they are still in it...........Hmmmmmmmmmm.....Don't give up, You may could see a lot of changes if you guys would just come to the races and show some support.....

[Lambertcars]

Danny,you talk about support. Only 2 races have been run this year and both of them are 600 miles 1 way from me. I dont know about the other racers but with things as tight as they are with myself and Frank we are going to have to pick and chose the races that we can come to this year. It is bad to have 3 race cars and cant afford to race them on a full time schedule,but other racers probably have that same problem.
