What is really nice about the sportsman races is what Skooter Peaco stated in the article. Here is the quote.
“As IHRA continues to be a champion of the sportsman competitors, we wanted to do something really special that would reach out to class racers, bracket racers and junior dragster competitors in one big weekend," said Skooter Peaco, VP of Race Operations. "We’ve made a huge commitment by doing the Sportsman Spectaculars and this will be an event that will encompass racers from every nearly every sportsman category and every sanctioning organization. This weekend is all about showcasing sportsman racing with some huge money and a ton of extra benefits on the line. It will be a huge accomplishment to hold one of the special Ironman trophies that will be done for this event and I’m excited to be able to offer this kind of event to sportsman competitors."

The two Sportsman Spectacular events are designed to give IHRA sportsman racers a stage all their own while celebrating 40 years as the most sportsman-friendly racing organization in drag racing today.

Now I don't know about you, but I believe this is about us racing, no matter how you look at it. Support it, race it, have fun.
