Rockingham and VMP to nhra?

X-TECH MAN · 11-19-2010, 05:31 PM

It sounds like IHRA is on the way out?

Mark Callanan · 11-19-2010, 05:46 PM

Wow

I didn't see that coming
In the last IHRA mag Arron made it seem in his The Last Word like everything was great
Is this just a rumor?

Rockingham is news to me!

After losing Va and Rockingham and Top Fuel,what's left to call a sanctioning organization?RIP IHRA.
The beginning of the end was when some bright bulb had the Iron Man turned into some
garish under nourished freak.

I hate to see this happen, as it seems to be a harbinger of the decline of IHRA.

On the other hand, if this is the case, I would certainly like to see the new Division 2 director jump on this.

It may be bad that it is happening, if it is true, but something good should come of it if at all possible.

What makes you think he wasn't (at least partially) responsible for this?

You guys are jumpin the gun here. Who do you think is responsible for these press releases. Usually somebody trying to create turmoil. I'm pretty sure Rock,VMP,Martin,West Palm, Baton Rouge,MIR are already under contract for 2011. You ever heard of the term"SILLY SEASON".

THE LEGEND · 11-20-2010, 09:38 AM

I also heard they were going back to San Antonio too.

I think the big surprise this week was Kenny Knowling stepping down from ADRL and they have no sponsor for 2011. When will the Shiek get tired of this racing thing and pick up golf,fishing,mountian climbing our whatever his next new hobby will be?

Then I'm good with that. By all means, if he's doing something for us, let us in on it. Division 2 racers would, for the most part, be completely stunned to see a division director doing anything at all for us, we haven't seen anything like that in years.

Most everyone I talked to did not get much of a positive first impression of our new director. I saw him briefly, and he did not appear to be very interested in the sportsman racers. I've talked to a couple of dozen other people who were at Reynolds, and all but one said the same thing.

If my first impression of him was wrong, and we see some real positive results from him, I'll be the first to publicly state my change in opinion and the fact that my original impression was wrong, and I hope it was.
