Is IHRA Going Under?

[Chris1529]

Personally, I think this thread needs to disappear as it really doesn't help anything out to promote drag racing. If someone who was thinking about racing or going to a race were to read or hear about this, it would most certainly turn them off.
It has also done damage to the IHRA which is unfair to them.

Ok Chris, lets just bury our heads in the sand, ignore the facts and mumble "everything is going to be all right". and ignore any problems or trends in our sport! I have had 22 positive emails, 0 negative and 98% of the posts here are positive and have some great ideas to promote and grow the sport. Sorry if you don't think that's a good thing. Jim

I just think a new thread with a more positive title would work better than "Is IHRA Going Under".

IHRA has been going under for 30 years now! Maybe the reason they only have 3 people in the Ohio office is they are currently moving their headquarters to Florida!

Chris I hate to say this but there isn't anyone out there reading this thinking about getting into racing. At this point I think your either in or out of it, but by chance if there is a couple I don't think this will stop them.
Its obvious to me that apparently there is some merit to what this lady told Jim in the first place. I'm pretty sure he didn't just dream up this stuff, you can bet that there have been some discussions around IHRA about what next year will hold or she wouldn't have just started talking to Jim about it when he started asking questions. Maybe she just didn't get the memo to keep it quiet.

Kenny please delete this thread, like I've deleted ihra from my schedule for past five years. I guess some people just like racing the same 10-15 people all the time. But if I had all my eggs in one basket (create motor cars) I would be kiss there ***** to. Seeing how that's the only place for me to race.

IHRA leadership made the decisions they thought had to be made.
I cannot see what they saw to make those decisions.
We can only express what we see.
What is cool are all the people who want IHRA to succeed!

So put some skin in the game!
What ideas do you have for IHRA to help them become a great Community Organization!??
