Admittedly, IHRA fields tend to be smaller than NHRA fields. That allows them to get it done quicker. If things go well and car counts get bigger and require more time, hopefully the schedule will be adjusted in the future. A big factor is that Sportsman qualifying and eliminations won't be "interrupted" by scheduled Pro runs. Pros don't run until the late afternoon or evening on either day.

The insurance increase wasn't expected. I don't know why the increase was implimented, so I can't say if it is justified.

Simple
To me anyways because we are paying for 3 days and now it is 2
And now they charge us more for less
You see to me anyways it is simple
In IHRA I dont attend all the races so the one I do race at I want the most for my money spent
I dont want less time shots
Myron no offence but you wave the IHRA flag way to much to be neutral
I hope most class racers still believe in what we do

And I dont want to be led like a sheep do with no questions asked
We all need to ask why we pay more for less....
