Local racers near each of these events will be the ones to support IHRA this year, unless a racers just wants to go racing to be going and not worry about any money.

If IHRA takes some of the money they are paying for the "show" and increase the purse to about $10,000 for the winner of each sportsman class and pay a decent amount from the winners purse back, they will get more cars than they know what to do with. Especially if this was a cash purse and you didn't have to wait around on contingency payments.

[I] did not see much wrong with the contingency . They posted a fresh sheet at the tech trailer on friday afternoon. Steve Furr wonn about 10 grand in super rod sat for his win . , why don't you try going sometimes ,after all that is what makes it grow. Poor car count is due to racers not coming , don't get me wrong i know it needs to be better, but how do you think it is going to get better if you don't show your support . Sorry you are not happy. Now ,go ahead and let me have it now. I can take it.

The good news is the odds of winning.
