Big sportsman payout increase at IHRA National Events

IHRA announces return to sportsman national event drag racing with incresed payout, prestige at NJDRS events
http://www.ihra.com/ihra-news/compet...l-njdrs-events

Short version: Back to the old weekend schedule, and "competitors in Super Stock, Stock, Quick Rod, Super Rod and Hot Rod will receive $1,500 for an event win with $900 for runner-up. All classes will receive $150 starting with a second round win with $50 increases for each remaining round won." Hit the link above for the full article.

After a year away from running any IHRA, I'm glad to see some positive moves and a better schedule for 2015. The MotorManiaTV live video coverage that Summit sponsors at every event is a big plus, too, if they keep up with that. Looking forward to doing some more racing again.

So far my understanding is that the Nitro Jam events will count as a single ProAm claim in addition to the rest of the ProAm schedule. The purse and contingency increase may be incentive because of the one race Nitro Jam vs a ProAm double-header. The TOC qualifying appears to remain the same with top 3 in each division making it to the "big show".

Kudos to IHRA.

It's good to see an increase, but let's be honest. It's still a joke. We all bitch about the payouts from NHRA yet it's twice what IHRA pays out starting with 2nd round winners and goes up 100 per round verses 50. None of them pay worth a crap. Costs go up and payouts are a joke.

Gary. Do you know something about Tucson that is not posted? The way I read it is that Tucson is running Stock and SS. Considering going there instead of Pomona because we can run both cars.
