I approached IHRA with the idea for double headers many many years ago, and was told it would never work. Later that year, Ralph Hester at Immokalee had the same idea, and made them try it. They've been boasting that it was their idea ever since.


IHRA has been a death by 1,000 cuts. Some of the decisions may not even register as a big deal, but innumerable decisions throughout the years have added up to where we are now -- decisions by all involved: sanctioning body, racers, sponsors, etc. It was tough even in the best of circumstances. I don't see how it is financially viable to save at this point.
