The New IHRA ???

I hate to admit this, but drag racing is dying. It's just the way it is. And we brought it all on ourselves. I don't think we will ever bring the crowd back.

Very interesting stuff posted here but I think I have the perfect solutions that will surely fill the lanes although I can't take credit for it because I am borrowing it from a proven model.
First and foremost, they must get a title sponsor back so that they can get the pros back in the game. You know the the oilers and guys driving the cars that we don't recognize from being from any particular manufacturer other than the symbol that's on the front. Yeah the ones everyone is always complaining about that caused you to get bumped till Monday, those guys.
Second, we must raise entry fees to todays standards and help pay for the insurance and ofcourse the pro purse. Hell we don't do this for money anyway what's another $75 or $100 out of our pocket.
Third thing I think needs to be done is chop about 3 tenths off the indexes. This should get rid of some of the older and obsolete combos and those guys can get one of the newer, underfactored cars. You know the ones that everyone hates, unless you got one ofcourse.
Last thing and this is my favorite, make the sportsman park across the highway from the track in a freshly picked corn field or a hay field will work as long as it hasn't been mowed. Those pros have got to have the pavement so you're going to have to move down.
Just a few random thoughts I had and it really seems to work elsewhere. Hmmm, just thought maybe if they change the Ironman trophy to a guy holding a tire.
