They put all their eggs in Evan knoll's basket that and the economy took a crap at the same time and some ill advised decisions.

Re: Is IHRA Going Under?
 

Oh and I forgot to say . After 12 months IHRA/Thunder400 has no rule book , and has been running without one since starting . And all their promises of sponsors and improvements/change have essentially been undelivered .
IHRA/Thiunder400 was essentially a track and some Grp1 driven agenda . The sportsman racers were given little to no choice . If your local track changed you had to like it or lump it whoever you preferred . A bit like NHRA/IHRA , you need 2 licences etc to be able to compete both series .

I wish IHRA would hire me.
Need a lot of passion and determination to move a good organization.
IHRA is floundering and can make an impact the little things that compromises a persons experience.
Life has moved on what keeps a person attracted to a sport or other community event.
Same principles just done differently today.
About having fun and translating it into a repeat experience.

Fwiw I think Galot in NC features a lot of useful innovations.
They need to do more but made a huge step in right direction.
One idea is to keep some event, business or service where the public is visiting everyday.

Personally, I think this thread needs to disappear as it really doesn't help anything out to promote drag racing. If someone who was thinking about racing or going to a race were to read or hear about this, it would most certainly turn them off.
It has also done damage to the IHRA which is unfair to them.

Ok Chris, lets just bury our heads in the sand, ignore the facts and mumble "everything is going to be all right". and ignore any problems or trends in our sport! I have had 22 positive emails, 0 negative and 98% of the posts here are positive and have some great ideas to promote and grow the sport. Sorry if you don't think that's a good thing. Jim

X2, I agree with Chris

Re: Is IHRA Going Under?
 

IHRA leadership made the decisions they thought had to be made.
I cannot see what they saw to make those decisions.
We can only express what we see.
What is cool are all the people who want IHRA to succeed!

So put some skin in the game!
What ideas do you have for IHRA to help them become a great Community Organization!??

Kenny please delete this thread, like I've deleted ihra from my schedule for past five years. I guess some people just like racing the same 10-15 people all the time. But if I had all my eggs in one basket (create motor cars) I would be kiss there ***** to. Seeing how that's the only place for me to race.
