Rich Schafer and Alan Rinehart out at IHRA

my personal opinion on this situation is new owner is a nut. Rich is highly respected and connected in the sport. Allan is well known and brings added credibility to the organization.

dont understand why the dude feels the need to own all of these tracks. just get them under the ihra banner where you can hold events. why own them and then have the extra cost of managing and up keep.

i say this will never come to fruition and it is a pipe dream to some dumb azz with $$$ who wants to show the world how big his unit is.

you get rid of the two best people you have put in place is the dumbest move yet. if you were serious about it you swallow your ego and listen to those who know more than you. but i guess his ears are clogged with his $$. i heard he has spent 35 mill on the track purchases alone. use that $ to pay the purses and the people and put the races on. right now i am worried about the future of the tracks he has purchased. because he obviously doesnt have a clue.

ep-0% chance this happens.
