I'm confused about IHRA's Sportsman friendliness

Well, great! Looking forward to seeing all of you at Virginia and MIR for the Sportsman Spectacular races. $5,000 to win plus National event contingency. Everything you've asked for.

what's going on in Bradenton

Vic, staying home to work. Business is insane right now, can't afford to take off on Thursday for a Divisional race.

Sure, IHRA is more layed back, cuz nobody shows up. IHRA spends more time with you, cuz nobody shows up. IHRA starts late and ends early, cuz nobody shows up. You park close, cuz nobody shows up. You get it?

I call BS, because IHRA people, schedule, and parking were good 10 years ago, too.

Their "show" would be a lot better if they actually raced heads up.Of course the beaters would stop showing up.

Guess people could say the same about S/SS. What 7-second car is a beater?

Two years ago in Pine Valley there were 3 cars left. I was one of them. I lost to Dwayne Custer. I went to the tower and they said because of the car count we are only paying the winner and r/u.

There were 5 cars total. The posted payout was paid. "At 3 cars" was the 2nd round of eliminations. 5 cars or 100 cars, 2nd Round loser does not receive money.
