As a media reporter for several different magazines the last being Inside Motorsports I can tell you that the end of IHRA came when Billy Meyer bought it. That said Bill Bader sold out to Clear Channel so he could head to greener pastures NHRA and he left his two best people running the show . You have to remember that Bill is responsible for both the IDIOTS that run it now, they were hand picked for their assignments. Also I was a writer For Drag Review in the late 80's, I also wrote for Billy Meyer's Drag Racing Today. So I think that there is plenty of blame to go around as to why IHRA is what it is today. Bill always said We are not a racing orginaztion we are in the entertainment buisness. Jimmy Manuel
