Default Re: What would U change @ IHRA

I am glad that Herb chimes in to give the track operators side of the issues.
I was at Quaker City earlier this year which had the night of fire along with the double pro-am.
That is probably the only way that track made any money that weekend.

I talked to the operators at Kanawha Valley earlier this year to see why they weren;t having a pro-am.
They simply said it costs too much.
Maybe IHRA should consider getting sponsors to pay the race purses for the points meets and nationals and not depend upon the racers themselves putting up the money. I have friends who race late models that pay no entry fee anywhere they race.

maybe if Feld can market the sport to spectators more, this could possibly happen.
