Big sportsman payout increase at IHRA National Events

Myron Piatek · 11-22-2014, 08:27 PM

Racing with IHRA is less expensive than NHRA and they are trying to be a competitive option. But they need the support to be able to pay more. They could have stayed with the old purse. When is the last time NHRA raised their payouts?

IHRA went out on a limb for several years with the Sportsman Spectaculars that paid $5,000 to win! That's a heck of a lot more than what NHRA pays. But not enough racers showed up and they got burned bad! No more Sportsman Spectaculars and it's the racer's fault for not showing up. IHRA appreciates sportsman racers more than NHRA. Racers need to show their appreciation in return, especially if they want bigger purses.
