Random thought about the *HRA

Here in Fla. we don't have any IHRA only racers in Super Stock. All of the guys we race with are regular NHRA racers. There are a few crate motor stockers that run here but not many. So there is no issue with professionalism and credibility here in Fla. The IHRA purse that I won in Immokalee earlier this year was actually more than the NHRA purse at their LODRS events. Probably not as much contingency though. I did get paid by all of the companies for my contingencies with in 2 months except for ATI and that was my fault for not getting the paperwork sent back to them in a timely manner.
As for racing 1000 Ft. that would require a whole new set of indexes and neither sanctioning body will put forth the effort for that. Plus the 1/4 mile only guys wont run 1000 Ft. either.
