Yeah what Don said and laid out is almost exactly what IHRA did in it’s waning days. Didn’t wanna go down that route but I’ll go ahead anyway, yes I won an IHRA world points championship running the way NHRA does now,(and felt like I earned it!)
then I also won a world championship as Don describes. they took the top three out of every division, and anyone that had won a national event, and we all had a big race at the end of the year and I believe the first one might’ve been Rockingham and then later in Memphis, I came out of the number three slot in the division, and won that race, it made me a world champion. I really didn’t feel like it. of course I took the money and all the glory, but it just wasn’t the same and I feel sorry for all those that had collected way more points. I gotta agree with bill Grubbs.
It’s not the way to have a championship when you could win and not win a single race, while someone else had a near perfect season but loose in the winner take all race.
