ahra resurection
 
there was a posting on competition plus regarding ahra being brought back and catering to sportsman racers. nhra made a business decision years ago to focus building their brand around the current pro classes and use sportsman racers as a source of revenue and show filler. good for them, however, just like the pro classes sportsman racing has evolved into a significant entity and due to the time and investment now requires significant marketing attention. this could be a great business opportunity done right. depending on what these people end up offering competiters its time to collectively stand up and support someone should they present a viable concept.

People that are too elitist to run IHRA likely would not support AHRA.

Would you be speaking of the elitist organization, the IHRA, who made a decision not to support 50% of the country?

How do you have events without tracks? :confused: A track's choice of sanction is driven by its customers. If you want to have IHRA out west, "DEMAND IT!"

Nope, I'm talking about racers in areas that DO have IHRA tracks, not showing up. Same rules, same indexes, same cars for the most part, very friendly officials who do seem happy to see you show up, the money still spends the same (At least that is what Slate tells me, I haven't collected enough of it to know for sure.). I don't think you can really fault an smaller association for not covering all of the U.S. It takes tracks from other areas joining up. Do you expect them to go out and buy race tracks? I realize I'm a bit slow, but I don't understand more guys not racing with them.
