IHRA Memphis Superstock

[Alex Denysenko]

as much as it pains me to say this after being such a long time public supporter of IHRA, we too are losing faith in the organization's ability to sustain, so much so that we have not renewed our expired memberships the beginning of the end for us was their decision to drop division 5 for the second time in this decade

Alex,

I remember us discussing this very subject a few months back before your unfortunate health battle. Glad to see you up and around. I am more than a little concerned about IHRA myself. Haven't worked on my crate car since about last May or so. I may just end up selling off my crate motor stuff to the local bracket racers. Use the money to finish the refurb my old bracket car.

While the Super Stock turnout was extremely low, I'm not sure where people are getting "three cars" from. DRC shows 6 on Saturday and 8 on Sunday, Stock was 29 and 26.

At least 6 cars on Saturday and 8 on Sunday is better than the ADRL last weekend at Z-Max. They only had 4 cars show up for their well publicized SuperCar Showdown.

That was Friday. They had an odd schedule there, with a qualifying run Friday night, and then the 2nd qualifying run Saturday night. More cars showed up on Saturday.

I hope IHRA does o.k.
That organization is the last hope for a new guy (like myself) that wants to get into class racing.

I like the idea of 2 races on one weekend and no pre-registration is required.
Just not a big fan of the $ 135.00 buy in per race with only a $ 1,000 to win payout. (Stock)

:I want IHRA to perpetuate as much as anyone butright now the way it is being run I feel as though IHRA is a lot like the ill fated cruise ship Costa Concordia and it's leader Aaron Polburn is captain Francesco Schettino

If you are not a fan of that buy in and payout you better get out of or stay out of class racing. The other HRA is no better. The only place the pay to win ratio is better is the local combo races that are poping up.
