If you are lucky enough to make it to the final race of champions then you should be bringing your "A" game. As a driver and with the performance of your car.

Would IHRA give a nitrous pro mod a spot against a blower pro mod in the finals due to their inequity?

Go fast or stay home!

Hypothetical situation:
Racer A has an A/SA car that runs .7 under because he doesn't have $$$ coming out of his ***.Racer
B is a so called traveling sportsman pro and has an A/SA car that goes .8 or .9 under.He has alot of contacts to borrow a 1.20 under car.Bye bye low buck guy.
On the other hand Racer A might get lucky and be offered a fast ride.So it's a wash.
I would go along with the heads up runs if the participant would have to use the car they raced all year.
But wait,some guys use different cars sometimes during the season.What a mess.Obviously there is no fair solution to the problem.Every body is right and every body is wrong.
