Contingency Ideas for New IHRA owners

Kegracing · 01-30-2013, 03:28 PM

OK, get ready to flame away... Just want to throw some ideas out there and see what people say. MAYBE we can help in some way.

I am guessing some of the new IHRA owners and their contacts are reading these boards, to see how people are reacting. Would love to hear from some of you, if this is true!

First, I would like to see the new owners of IHRA really get back behind the sportsman racers, and get the car counts back to where they were 10 years ago. I know the economy and a lot of other things impact this, but it is just not the same "family deal" it was several years back. NOT saying IHRA is bad now... I still support them, and still say they are the more friendly sportsman body! But, I think a lot of old time IHRA racers would agree with me...?

So, for the Contingency stickers: Would the average racer be happier to get a smaller payout for a win and RU if they were not held to such a tight rule on: recent purchases, having receipts, having to renew with company every year, etc. AND there was a lot more companies posting?
I remember years back, they checked you in winner circle for sticker and product. That was it... you got paid if it was on the car. (been a while since I won LOL)
IHRA has new owners, and they have the chance to go to the companies right now and make deals... but they need to act fast! IHRA can let the companies in cheap, and at a lower cost, and get more people on board. Makes the racers happy??? and more cars at the track?

WIN WIN for everyone?

Fire away!
