Division 4 IHRA support

IHRA is going in the right direction. The live streaming video is awesome. I got my IHRA license/membership this year secondary to that. I was going to San Antonio, but cancelled secondary to work on the car after Great Bend and with Belle Rose the following weekend, put a bind on things. The schedule and distance is the driving factor I would assume for most racers. Pine Valley was on the schedule also, but, rained. Now that race is in the middle of July. Belle Rose was difficult at best in June, Texas in the middle of July! Need to make that a night race with 1st qualifier at 6 p.m. The dew point was 77 in Belle Rose at 94 degree's, the heat index was 110. I doubt many will show up for that kind of abuse.

If you could change one thing I would suggest going back to divisional points and a divisional championship. People will chase points, at least I do.

They do have Divisional points and Division championships. It's only the World Championship that's a shootout style race.
