Mike Dunn
 

Internet rumors say Mike Dunn is out at IHRA.

Re: Mike Dunn
 

Won’t matter, IHRA is done with class racing regardless.

But it appeared he was trying based on all the interviews with racers. Personally wish he would replace Tony P on the FS1 broadcasts but you know that won’t happen.

Re: Mike Dunn
 

I saw first hand that he showed little or no interest in sportsman racing. I did see him on multiple times hanging with the "pros" for what it's worth.

Re: Mike Dunn
 

I agree with Jim . I don't think Dunn cared less about Sportsman racing. I could be wrong . I think the bigger issue was WHY didn't we , the sportsman racers SUPPORT the IHRA ?????
We have NO one to blame but ourselves , Sadly.

Re: Mike Dunn
 

I don't know about that . I don't reacall many NHRA Presidents getting in Class racers Photo's...

Re: Mike Dunn
 

Same here, shook my hand said congrats and got in the photo. Sadly IHRA was already doomed.

Re: Mike Dunn
 

When you can't even collect $1000 dollars in contingency for a "National event" win I really can't blame anyone for not supporting them. So there was plenty things to blame before it got to the point where the racers quit showing up.

Re: Mike Dunn
 

I certainly tried (twice in San Antonio, and once at Rocky Mountain Raceways in Salt Lake City), and I only had a 15sec car, that was towed to the races on a flatbed car hauler, by a Chevy Colorado that only had a 5cyl engine, and I had a budget to match....

Well there you have it. As of Dec 1 Mike Dunn is the official IHRA Senior Consultant, what ever that means.

Re: Mike Dunn
 

Its been 3 years since I raced with IHRA, at the time I believe it was $135 to enter? This is when they had their ProAm. Typically they were 6 round races in stock may have some that were 5 rounds. To be honest the money didn't really matter to me, it got to where their races were further and further away from me so I decided if I was going to travel that much I would rather run NHRA where I could run 1/4 mile.

Re: Mike Dunn
 

$270 for the two race weekend. $1500 to win, $900 RU. I won 5 of their Pro Am's in the last 3 years. It was fun while it lasted but I saw it coming a long while ago. Jim

What are you and Nowicki going to do for spending $ this winter? Will miss seeing you, Myron, Mark and several others running Immokalee this winter. IHRA did just release a partial 'spectacular series' schedule and it presents a fantastic opportunity for bracket racing, check it out on ihra.com

It will be interesting to see what Mike Dunn does in his new "Consultant" role...doubt NHRA would let him share the booth with Bruno on their telecast. The current NHRA show on FS1 is only good for recording so you can blast through to the good racing/reporting.
