No Sportsman at Northern Nitro Jam

You guys crack me up. Bracket racers and wally chasers. Buff Daddy most people build a class car to run NHRA, that's just the facts of life. STK/SS combos are a filler and bracket racers are just that, bracket racers.

I can remember in 2002 I went to my first IHRA National event at 131. Over 150 class cars and the stands were packed. After Top fuel ran that night it took some people 3-4 hours to get out of the parking lot. I went the last time to the nationals at 131 in 2011 and it was a sad excuse for a national event, maybe 50 class cars and maybe 250 people in the stands.

Why are class cars and other classes not running national events in 2014?
Why are car counts down at Nationals and Pro-Am?
What is IHRA plan to improve car counts?
Why are racers that ran with us before not running with us now?
What is next years plan to improve IHRA?
Why are our car counts down if everyone likes the Tournament of champions format?

These are the question you IHRA racers should be ask IHRA management now.
