RE: "The demise of the IHRA"
I didn't word that very well, did I?
What I meant to say, was something more like "The demise of the IHRA as a direct competitor with the NHRA program, because with the new Professional format at IHRA, they seem so different to me (from the NHRA) that it's like they're not even trying to attract the same fans"
.
It's sort of an apples/oranges comparison with the IHRA going for the glitz (jet truck competition, "Professional" racing by invitation, only (will they invite Tony Schumacher and Larry Dixon???), and letting the "show biz" psychology dictate where the priorities regarding racing vs. showmanship lie.
I am in NO WAY defending what the NHRA does, nor how they do it... they're disgusting.
But to me, this new IHRA direction has thrown out the baby with the wash...
Just my 2-cents....
