I like the way the IHRA parks racers at National events. First come, first serve.

Somehow, figure out a way for the tracks to make a guaranteed amount for hosting Pro-Ams, IHRA tracks like any business must make $ to survive.
If bracket racing at a national event creates future class racers(it did for me) then consider increasing it. Limit it to footbrake only? Make it fun.......stick bracket? Now that I would pay to watch, and play at.
How about having cars with similar dial ins run each other a-la pinks all out? It would be a bit of a bear to administer, but with say 80 cars you could pair them up, and closer to heads up runs would be fun for all. Bracket to start....Fans would enjoy it.
Once the schedule is done, keep it. Toronto may have been a mess, but it would have been good to see. I know there were circumstances beyond control, but perhaps a alternate site could have been secured. I hope that hosting a national event is a $ maker for the tracks. Skyview's reschedule date after the rain-out was fine, I planned around it and booked a B&B, but not the week after!
I would add bracket racing to the pro-ams to increase the car counts and $ for the tracks. Just like they did with some of the national events.
I know NED will likely not do a Pro-Am due to low car counts, but I would love to see one there.
