Default Re: The New IHRA ???

After reading this thread about changing things. And why sportsman racing is almost dead.
It's easy to see why.
First. When sportsman racing was in it's hayday people drove the same style cars for their everyday drivers as those that raced.
Second, There were a lot of performance cars available. That could be raced. You can go buy a Drag Pac. And race it but you can't race a new Hemi Challenger. The imports are plentiful and powerful but aren't allowed to race.
Third Years ago you could go to a junkyard for race parts. Now if your name is not Billy Nees it aint happening.
Forth. Bracket racing wasn't invented yet.
Most of us involved in sportsman racing remember the good old days and hope we can recapture a moment or two. When we are gone it will die with us.
