The New IHRA ???

[Michael Beard]

As Doug and I have been discussing via PM, it's a learning process. Take a suggestion and delve further into the details of it, how it would work, what its effects are, and follow it to its conclusion. It's the same way you make your car better or improve your driving: As Adger taught me years ago: take every part and break down into its components and study that or ask "How do I make THAT piece better?"

There should at least be a consulation race for the first round runner-ups, since that includes half of the entries. ( maybe 200win / 100 r-up)

Good baseline idea. Ok, work through it:
- What would the entry fee be?
- How many cars were in first round?
- What percentage of first round losers will participate in the consi race?
- If payouts starting with 2nd round winners is unacceptable to some racers, would those racers participate in a consi race with only Win/RU payouts?
- If Win/RU pay is not enough, how far back, or what other purse requirements are there, if any?
- What's the total purse based on a given number of cars?
- How long does it take to run the race?
- What is the hourly cost to operate the race?
- What's the consi race net?
