Default Re: IHRA Sportsman racers - Letter from Skooter Peaco

[QUOTELike I said before,IHRA could have FREE entry and $1000 cash for first round losers at all events and some would still be upset.Since I race both sanctioning bodies,my car is built to NHRA rules.I didn't even realize until reading another thread that IHRA doesn't care what size rods you run or what the weight of your pistons are,or what your cylinder head volume is.That could be a real disadvantage racing somebody in the same class..Its tough to please everyone.I'm not saying this just because I have a slow car.[/QUOTE]

The entry cost doesn't bother me, you pay to play, what bothers me is the no heads up thing of which there would be a slim to none chance of happening, however there are no doubt some racers that would do anything to win. What with all the lifting @ 1000' running to the I-card and running their ladder generating software to try and hook up with a "duck" it's obvious that there are some racers more worried about "playing the game" than racing heads up. sorry if this offends some people but as my dad always said the" truth only hurts if it should". Most of the racers I know value the respect of their peers above most things and would not intentionally do anything to lose that. IMO Joe
