IHRA Rule changes

I think they don't want championships decided by record points. It's happened in the past. I wonder if they could come up with another reward for record setters, like contingency, gaskets, discount on a race entry? I wonder if when they do set records now, if guys will flat run 'em on kill, since there's no need to 'volley' a record back and forth for points?

Mike,,dont know what Ihra is thinking,,,,this is STOCK racing and points for records SHOULD be awarded,,,

and on the 2 steps for pure stockers,,,,what the heck are they thinking???,,,,kick slow cars a little more!!

and one more beef,,,I understand that wiring both line locks and 2 steps have been a "un written NO NO " for some time,,but as long as they allow a hand button release,,they might as well let them be wired together,,,,,,how long do you think it took for someone to figure out that all you have to do is release 2 buttons at the same time to have the same result???,,,,,try it with your practice tree sometime,,,,you will surprisingly find that your RTs are almost identical releasing 2 buttons at the same time on both side if the tree,,,
