So you get an NHRA guy who might just be bored sitting around the house cause there is no races that weekend and say "Heck, I'm going to Budds Creek". He goes to Budds Creek and wins the race and is able to win the world championship. To me something just does not add up for that. I mean you still have to go to Rockingham if you qualify but you race 2 races and can win the world championship. To me where is the loyality to IHRA and the racers who go to all their races. You get someone who supports IHRA 100% goes to 10-15 races per year and maybe dosen't have the best car at all the races but dosen't win a race and he get's kicked out but someone who maybe runs 1 race gets into the world championship hunt. Oh well, I'll just stick to local MASGA races and local NHRA events thats enough for me.

If you notice at the very end of the letter it states that less than a dozen racers contacted IHRA regarding this matter personally I was never notified other than the rumor mill. I feel that they should have contacted the racers for input on this... I don't necessarily disagree with parts of this but I do very strongly agree with what Marc and SG1198 said There should have been a minimum divisional requirement in order to qualify for the race perhaps must be in the top ten in divisional standing or something. I don't understand how it is fair to win the national championship and take the money and pride by winning only one race than the run off.. But it is what it is I guess if we don't like it there is always another rodeo in town.
