Plus if you have a problem with your race car you will miss two of your points races at one time. I have been running the div 2 events and they are typically well run. This past weekend in Immokalee there was rain on Saturday afternoon and they attempted to run both races on Sunday simultaneously. I lost first round both races and left the track at 8 pm Sunday. They ran several more rounds that evening but had to complete the race on Monday. Even if u had won several rounds I could not have stayed on Monday due to work commitments. All in all the race was pretty well run.

Hello All.
I Hope Mike can bring IHRA back to its Glory days. Real Pro & Class Racing.
Only time will tel, but I'm going along for the ride.

Keep the doubles, it happens to singles to.

Weather is something none of us can do anything about.
IHRA did the best they could under the circumstances.

I have been at a ____ event that it started raining Thursday night, cleared up and everybody got 1 time run Friday afternoon and it poured again. Everybody got 1 time run Saturday and it rained again. They held us all over to Sunday, even though there was a 80% chance of raining. finally calling the race at noon on Sunday. Then we all got to come back 2 weeks later.
