Sounds suspiciously like some of the "stand-alone" Pro-Am's go away next year. Could be good for the TOC qualifiers and larger contingency pay-outs at the Nitro-jam events! Still no schedule posted, but this news somewhat explains the delay.

In my opinion....IHRA hit a home run with this one!

Yup! I'm good with this one also. Looks like a labor saving move to me.Why go to the same track twice to have the ProAm when you can do it in one weekend with the Nitro Jam..I think they did not have the Sportsman cars there last year to monitor this move.Sounds like good planning on the part of IHRA. We all know it's all good with the sportsman racers.

I wonder what the entry fees are going to be? If the race on sat is a championship qualifier, are they going to go back to the $190 to enter as they have done with sportsman nationals in the past or will they keep it at the $135?

while I am at it, why do div 9 racers only havet o pay $125 at a pro-am and the rest of the country pays $135? I know it is only $10, but it does't seem quite right to me. Why doesn't IHRA just make it $125 across the board?

This format seems like a great idea,but the big problem I see is IHRA.

( I t H as R ained A gain)

If it rains,is the second race going to be on Monday or on another weekend?
