One more thing. I was not trying to disrespect any of the people on the ground at nhra, the track workers and tech are wonderful people and do there best with what they got. Maybe even some of them could get more if this can turn into a friendly competition. What I saw was a owner that loves drag racing and might have some deep pockets vs suits in California the only care about the numbers. The legend on that trophy we all love does not run things anymore. Irp is my home track and indy is what I race for. I just hope that a little competition could make it better for everyone.

Life is about choices and I APPLAUD the 40 or so Stk/SS racers that made the tow to Hebron. All the reports that I received from the track were very positive . It seems as though the NEW IHRA is committed to the facilities, the support equipment AND the RACERS/Customers …..Kinda reminds me of the Bill Bader era……Now, all we need is for more Stk/SS racers to attend the next IHRA event ….

It's about being a good consumer, you're either a good consumer or your not. What you buy in terms of quality makes it so. Let's Face it, NHRA is not a good quality anymore and haven't been since early 2000's.

This is the 1st time I've stayed in and watched an entire drag racong event, the quality of their captured moments in the event was better than I've ever seen. The top end interviews were fantastic. The staging lane interviews caught racong like it is, nervous, not loose.

I can't wait to see the pinnacle of IHRA at Milan Dragway home together for a historic weekend of Nitro methane racing.

Everything i saw looked great and i cant wait to get to one. Definitely gonna try the galot race. As far as the tv coverage goes it was the best i have seen. It was like watching on tv and very well produced and put together. The fact they interviewed the sportsman winners and showed them some love was great. The coverage was 10x better then flo and 100x better than nhratv.

I was very skeptical about the whole thing but i think they are off to a great start

No, the first crack at it they had a couple indexes wrong and Andy Kronenbitter and myself went up in the tower to get it corrected. IHRA uses NHRA indexes and adds .3 to them. They had some with IHRA, some with NHRA indexes. They were super tankful we told them and appreciated the help.

Everybody is talking about low car court at this event, on the west coast it is a sad state at this point, the quota for Sonoma is 60, the race is in 2 weeks and 22 cars have register.
