Funny how NONE of the "professional" racers with the IHRA , some who were season champs , could never win a single NHRA race in the same category..........Rickie Smith and Clay Millican , for example. |

I still like IHRA, but back when Larry Carrier had it up till 88 is my favorite era to watch.
Joespanova, I know what you are saying.but I also remember NHRA guys running some IHRA races and them not doing so well in IHRA Mike Taylor 3601 |

I had the honor or Brett announcing when I had my first national event win at the first IHRA SportsNationals in LaRue, Ohio 1988 (Marion County International Raceway) I always enjoyed racing IHRA it was really laid back style racing.

TNN to Telecast IHRA Drag Racing
http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=54331 It was broadcast on TNN in 2000 and some in 2001, with some of the coverage moving to Speedvision. There was a published 2002 schedule of IHRA on TNN, but that parts a little fuzzy for me. In 2003, coverage went to SPEED Channel.

Nitro Joe, that picture sure brings back some memories. Look at how young everyone looks. We had the pleasure of running IHRA and finished # 2 in Quick Rod in 1987. I think it was a great organization at the time and hope it can return to it's former self. Thanks for posting.
