I personally like NHRA national events. We have met and made friends with lots of the pro drivers and if your lucky enough to make it to Sunday it's pretty cool to race in front of a crowd during the pro turn around.

Bottom line...I love to race and I will probably do it as close to home as possible where the money is flowing!

i like both also, we've all heard stories from both sides, but all in all i think NHRA and IHRA are great places to race, one of the things i think people missed on was the Sportdman Spectacular races, i can understand the delima of buybacks and Class racing in the same sentence but they paid well worth the trip and i believe IHRA even paid the purse in Texas last year with 5 or 6 Super Stockers thats not bad on their part as far as standing by the racers, but thats done and gone prob.. but as far as compairing the 2 i dont think you really can, unless you go by payout and contengency, it all depends on what that persons opinion is towards the race they went too, no 2 races are ever the same

I hope IHRA goes back to just what they had before.Full pros full sportsman.It was the most fun ever.And the officials were great.We loved the racing and my kids loved the pros.Bader ran one hell of a show.Every NHRA race we go to we enjoy and are treated great but I run into racer all the time there saying that they had much more fun at the old IHRA races and want them back.We used to race Top stock and their national events were packed.Never could figure out why they changed.
