Re: IHRA for 2018
If you do not intend on bracket racing the "new" SSNC then I would send them an email and request a refund. It's a breach of contract on their behalf. You paid for a Lic and membership to participate in a class that they are arbitrarily eliminating.
It's sad because I have always enjoyed racing their events. The elimination of the traditional divisional races was a huge mistake. Although I initially was a fan of the SSNC concept, I quickly realized that the schedule was weighted in favor of east coast and north-east region tracks. I now believe that a more realistic approach would have been to have each division send their class div champs to compete against other div champs for the nat champ spot (sorry, R/U's & 3rd place finishers would not be able participate). Very similar to the All-stars format.
Hoping that some of the .90 & Stk/SS organizations will pick up the slack.
Also, sending a note to Summit expressing your concerns may not change things, but it won't hurt either.
