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

I also buy from Summit but will be rethinking that now and buy more from Jegs. I bought from Summit mostly because of their IHRA sponsorship. Now that they bailed on the class racers I wont buy as much from them.
I also don't think the bracket format will be enough to keep them in business. As a rule bracket racers do not travel to race. I don't see bracket racers supporting a 20 race series that you have to travel to compete. It will be interesting to see what this new format looks like when they finally announce the details.
