orlando speedworld going ihra

[Ron Ortiz]

Just in the state of FL and extreme southern GA.

Between IHRA tracks which include Immokalee, Bradenton, Orlando, PBIR and SGMP.

NHRA tracks, Gainesville.

I imagine that the scheduling for both sanctions will be interesting. It is nice to have a bunch of races right in a row within short distances, but it sure impacts the wallet with the amount of races in a row.

In the past the Gators was the race to attend as it was the opener for the East coast. Lots of northern cars came down and it was a blast. They placed a divisional race the week prior as it was a benefit for the racers travelling some distance, two races one trip. Then they added a second divisional, wow, three races one trip. Spent just enough for the trip.

Enter IHRA, lets start at the beginning of the year with a race, now we have four races.

Then the race tracks start changing sanctions and adding races also. Soon it becomes a mess and now we could possibly have six races almost in a row, with a possible seventh race if PBIR gets into the mix. How is that wallet feeling now.

We'll just wait and see what possibly could come from all this.
