In my opinion if you were not there then you don't get a vote.

Yeah, Legend, I wasn't there......thank god! But I was there in the spring! And I've been to quite a few IHRA Nationals over the last few years! So I feel my opinion is as good as anyones on this post! Did you start the thread.....NO! So how can you speak for the one who did by saying I don't get a vote?? I guess now it's up to YOU to determine who gets a say! I feel every racer who runs IHRA should be free to voice their opinion.

I know this is tough, but, schedule around the NHRA races. More quarter mile tracks. Eliminate Bracket racing(not that I have anything against Bracket racing, just a time concern) at National events, to draw more cars in Stock and Superstock(hopefully).
I like the way the IHRA parks racers at National events. First come, first serve.

If bracket racing at a national event creates future class racers(it did for me) then consider increasing it. Limit it to footbrake only? Make it fun.......stick bracket? Now that I would pay to watch, and play at.

How about having cars with similar dial ins run each other a-la pinks all out? It would be a bit of a bear to administer, but with say 80 cars you could pair them up, and closer to heads up runs would be fun for all. Bracket to start....Fans would enjoy it.

Once the schedule is done, keep it. Toronto may have been a mess, but it would have been good to see. I know there were circumstances beyond control, but perhaps a alternate site could have been secured. I hope that hosting a national event is a $ maker for the tracks. Skyview's reschedule date after the rain-out was fine, I planned around it and booked a B&B, but not the week after!

I would add bracket racing to the pro-ams to increase the car counts and $ for the tracks. Just like they did with some of the national events.

I know NED will likely not do a Pro-Am due to low car counts, but I would love to see one there.

I guess I get to be the 101st post on this......................................

There are many things that I would change about both NHRA and IHRA,but some will not even try IHRA.

They could have FREE entry with an ironman and $1000 cash to ALL first round losers,and many would still stay home and complain about the looks of the trophy.I look at NHRA and IHRA like Coke and Pepsi.I don't really prefer either one,but when you are thirsty,they both can quench your thirst.
