Bottom line is that this should add car count to events, period. I applaud IHRA for making this change and not just sitting around, content with the way things were, and letting IHRA sportsman racers lose a place to race. I do agree with the statement that there should be a required number of divisionals to attend, and feel this will be addressed. For those stating that they wish IHRA would have gotten more racer input...
R&S Motorsports said "If you notice at the very end of the letter it states that less than a dozen racers contacted IHRA regarding this matter personally I was never notified other than the rumor mill. I feel that they should have contacted the racers for input on this... "
Well, I was contacted a while ago for my input. I was given a copy of the proposed plan to review and offer my comments. Skooter was very open to my opinions and we discussed them on numurous occasions. He even apopted a couple of my suggestions into the final points structure. To say they did this without racer input is not fact.
