I'm sure if IHRA could draw the pros NHRA has you would be filler material there to.

Sorry Harry I don't buy that different situation comment for Mark, and you have a big money race in Boise, Id., that people where I live would have to travel to 'Vegas for the nearest race of a similar nature. Mark also races IHRA, because they offer him a good return on his investment.

I personally am glad that IHRA doesn't offer what NHRA does, because they continue to prove that they care for us sportsman racers more than the NHRA does...don't believe it, compare the new look of National Dragster (where sportsman racing coverage is concerned), to how Drag Review Magazine expresses us as opposed to the pros they have at their Nitro Jam races (furthermore, take additional note as to how IHRA does race coverage at their divisional Pro-Am series races compareds to NHRA's divisional race coverage! Ask Michael Beard, or the guy who just won Martin Michigan who also runs NHRA with the Dodge what they think. IHRA cares more, and they always prove it!
