We need more buybacks.Too bad they don't have them in ther sports.Then:

1)My Islanders could have the game back they lost to Edmonton in 1985.Then they could have won a fifth championship in a row.
2)Bill Buckner's miscue in the 1986 World Series.
3)Give back Bobby Thompson's home run against the Dodgers.
4)My ***** light last year at MG national event in the semis.
5)I bet the Germans would like buybacks for the wars they screwed up.Let's not even mention the French.

The French are broke, there's no way they can afford a buy back for all those losses

If you want buybacks, go to your local track and bracket race! I have voiced my opinion to the IHRA officials on the buybacks! Now, if more of you "class racers" would attend these events, they would not have to offer buybacks to generate more income!!! So I blame IHRA, the host track, and the "class racer" who does not attend these Sportsman Spectacular races for the buyback option!

This weekend is a perfect example of what I mean! You have a packed house at an open race that you pay $170 to enter, to win $1000, when you have 45-64 car fields in a race that costs $200 to enter and pays $5000 plus contingency! Or, travel 1000 miles to go to a points race!!

All of you who bitch and complain on here about NHRA and their fees and low payouts, just keep your mouth shut on here! You have nothing to bitch about and I don't want to hear it anymore!!

i can't speak for anyone else. simply my own input. im happy for all that summit is doing for sportsman racing...don't get me wrong. but this just seems to go against the grain.

ALL I CAN SAY , DOING STATS IT SUCKS!!!!
I have been working on the IHRA stats and its bad enough the way i have to do their stats compared to NHRA now this darn Buy back stuff, I'm going to start drinking again. Ask Ralph & Rich, they have watched me do ihra stuff.

I think I would rather see some sort of a consolation race. I was at VMP and didn't do the re-entry race.

Consolation race would not take in enough money to help pay the BIG PURSE.

I vote " NO" buy-backs/re-entries or whatever you want to call it.
Like i said before only have re-entry if car count is too low.(have a min car count for re-entry)

Travis,
Maybe you should come out more. You don't have to use the re-entry option if you don't want to. If enough people would show up instead of complaining IHRA would not need this option to pay the $5,000 to win.
Maybe eveyone should thank IHRA for going out on a limb to pay this kind of money.

How would you know if the car count was going to be too low ahead of time? I could see more folks being confused and upset if an eliminations schedule couldn't be posted until after every car in all seven classes were teched in.
