I will take a shot at this question.
1. The new points program is about 1/2 way through, anyone that doesn't think they have a chance probably will just save their $. also no division points not a big incentive.
2. wasn't this a makeup race from earlier in the season? some plans had already been made.
3. it was hot!
4. this was my problem. I had plans on Saturday but Sunday was open, I haven't run ihra in about 4 years. my license and membership had expired. Someone great had put up $5000. bonus to win S/R on Sunday. That is hard to pass up, This is not my usual class. I just put in a spare engine and had 0---- 9.90 passes and the policy of only one time shot really had me on the fence about going. I knew I would be a duck but decided to go anyway. ended up spending $150 entry,$90 membership and $70 diesel plus tolls, food, etc. This will be the only IHRA race I will attend this season. a little steep for just one time run and go....
