ALL I CAN SAY , DOING STATS IT SUCKS!!!!
I have been working on the IHRA stats and its bad enough the way i have to do their stats compared to NHRA now this darn Buy back stuff, I'm going to start drinking again. Ask Ralph & Rich, they have watched me do ihra stuff.

I think I would rather see some sort of a consolation race. I was at VMP and didn't do the re-entry race.

Consolation race would not take in enough money to help pay the BIG PURSE.

I vote " NO" buy-backs/re-entries or whatever you want to call it.
Like i said before only have re-entry if car count is too low.(have a min car count for re-entry)

Travis,
Maybe you should come out more. You don't have to use the re-entry option if you don't want to. If enough people would show up instead of complaining IHRA would not need this option to pay the $5,000 to win.
Maybe eveyone should thank IHRA for going out on a limb to pay this kind of money.

trust me....ill be around. not to buyback tho. i don't care what the purse is. it's about principle. period. stick with the friday night lights if you wanna buy a race.

THE LEGEND · 10-25-2011, 06:42 PM

TW,
Why are you so down on Re-Entry/BB? Give me a real reason besides "It's the Principal"
If you want to go back to the way it was "Back in the day" , we all would be racing for trophys with a flag drop. Efverything evolves to a higher level and Buybacks may be what it takes for IHRA to survive.
Nothing "Friday nightlights" about the 2 sportsman spectacular races IHRA put on this year. Caliber of competition and quality of equipment was awesome.

How would you know if the car count was going to be too low ahead of time? I could see more folks being confused and upset if an eliminations schedule couldn't be posted until after every car in all seven classes were teched in.

Bob,
Lets pick a number say 64 cars. Let everyone know if over 64 cars are on the qualifying sheet then No Re-Entry. They post the sheet every round so everyone would know.

Save your energy for counting all the money you won winning your championship without having to travel all over the country Chip, some people you will never be able to convince.
