You can buy all the parts, aluminum everything, right off the shelf.
in your pajamas.
They populate the local tracks all over, for the past few decades.
if they have numbers, it looks like its their turn.
Money talks.

I'd be scared to look at the receipts I have from Summit over the last five years....my wife would be even more so. Class racers spend money too.....heck I bracket race quite a bit also. We made our bed. I understand IHRA's logic...they tried. I think after Bader bailed and IHRA has yet to be owned by a interest that really cared about drag racing the writing is on the wall. Truthfully I don't expect IHRA to make it even with just bracket racing and that's a sad deal. Maybe we can buy it and roll like the Green Bay Packers...lol
