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.

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.

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. |

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.

How much was fee and how many rounds to win usually. Sad day indeed ihra is crumbling. Im just a fan but attended every empire nats w family but once from 1990-2002. Bader knew how to run a show. Gave the cap off his head to my neice sunday after finals and invited us to a snack n cold drink as it was steaming out in leicester in 02. The last race. I always liked the race format they had. Chris, currently in mooresville nc. Heading south. |

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....
