I like IHRA aggressive attitude to get more tracks and have more races per location and tracks closer together in a Division area.

Wish I could have made the triple header at Rockingham.
That is cost effective racing for the racers.

I also heard that Atlanta might not host a D-2 race either. I'm sure the week of Pomona will be interesting when the Divisional Schedule gets released.

Looks like a big shift. IHRA has taken over Florida with NHRA moving North. Both moves are good for the RACERS.

Orlando is more centrally located and may attract more spectators than than the 2 tracks no longer on the Pro schedule - Palm Beach and Bradenton. I wonder if SGMP is being considered. It seems like a good facility to have one at, but no idea how well it would draw spectators.

Can't wait to see the ProAm schedule!

The word is Bradenton is going back to NHRA time will tell.

Does anyone know why a track could not be affiliated with both N & IHRA. This would stop all of this silly season sanctioning changing. sounds like a good idea to me.

[Myron Piatek]

Here's the official IHRA announcement about Orlando. At the bottom, they say that Orlando will have a ProAm along with South Georgia Motorsports Park. With Immokalee having the season opener again, that's 3 ProAm weekends. Just gotta wait for the rest of the schedules to come out.

Mike, I think not being able to have a dual sanction is mainly an ego/exclusive rights thing. Besides, the track would have to fork out 2 membership fees.

Myron,I know they pack the house at SGMP for the Radial Wars and what ever they call it. I have heard the bleachers are full on both sides of the track.... Time will tell.... I do know that IHRA is looking very good in the "Deep South"... Looks like if all goes as planed it could be it's own division.... Just thinking out loud.... Give some free tickets out and a car load rate and make it up on food and drinks... That's the way the Baders do it or at least from the outside looking in.... Pack the house.....
