Re: 2009 IHRA Championship Format Announced
i think chip has the right idea, it can only be better.
as far as having a min number of races, or anything else like that, it's time to get over the fact that this isn't some club for the guys that show up all the time. what are you all afraid of? some killer local bracket guy showing up and kicking your behinds? the idea is to have more participation and competition, not try to exclude people because they can't commit to traveling.
this format will put it all on the level like the legend said- go to as many as you want or can afford, or if you are good- just show up and win one.
as for the divisionals- anything that will get people to go is big help. the track owners have been taking a beating, and the pitiful car counts make it look like a joke. yeah! who cares if you win a div race when there are 9 cars in your class? i don't. fri. night bracket race is alot tougher to win than that.
people have to work, pay bills, etc., this format will make it possible to have a life and still race for something big. get over it and get used to it.
