IHRA's been doing it since 2009. You could run the entire series and win the World Championship in five weekends.


While it's what I would call a good part time job, I can't race for a living. Granted, I couldn't make a living *without* racing, either. I run my own graphic design and printing business, solely focused on drag racers, tracks, and promoters -- so one is tied to the other. I've had a few good years where I could get by on racing, but it's not something you want to bet on.
