It depends on the racers willing and wanting to race IHRA. Give it a shot guys......a lot of you travel a zillion miles to run NHRA.....Give them (IHRA) a chance !

I don't understand the I won't run IHRA deal. The people are friendly and they want you to be there. When I broke in Dallas last year Frank came and found me to give me a refund. He said hope to see you at the next one hope this money helps getting it back together. When I broke in Houston a few years ago they said have a nice trip home. LOL Ed

From a local bracket racer/fan perspective, the most disappointing things about IHRA are no Comp Eliminator, no Pro Stock, and low car counts in Stock/Super Stock.

Other than that, I see not downsides of IHRA racing. The only reason I never attended any of there event previously is the lack of Comp Eliminator racing. Thats a huge reason why I love racing, selected engineering as a major, and want to get into racing.
