Thumbs up Re: Skooter Peaco's Open Letter To All IHRA National Event Sportsman Competitors

I think this is a great idea,
Interesting however is the fact that the "Live from Pomona" thread has 7600+ views, this thread has 1700ish views. the IHRA has deeper problems that has kept the cars away notwithstanding the dismal weather and travel costs. The NHRA racers I talk to put little value in the IHRA system. There are some who race both but a lot will only go NHRA racing, they seem to have an issue with the IHRA credibility gap. What will the real value of an IHRA champion become? What is a divisional win really worth?

I bet that this will not cut travel costs one bit, only going to a national and wining the first event and then staying home is foolish(there will be 30-40 others trying to do the same). First you would have extra gas money, and why on earth would you not practice all year (within travel restraints)? How will one ever beat Bertozzi, Marshall, Cummings, Richardson (you pick em, we all know who the hitters are) etc. If we are only running at our local "bracket track. That is not why I built a Super Stocker. Matter of fact if one wins an entry it might even be worth driving to the rock for a pre race orientation. So much for travel budgets, I gotta go get this bullet out of my foot.

I really hope this will help IHRA get on the path to growth. Something had to be done.

Bring back Modified, Heh Heh
