Is IHRA Going Under?

I think you guys are painfully dead on correct but let me add to the "no car culture" and the "old guys muscle car club" comment.......it is still the ECONOMY that has to be figured in too-----the ECONOMY is IMAGINARY NOW AND HAS BEEN FOR EIGHT YEARS and does not support young guys getting in the sport nor the interest, the Spectator is not there for the tracks with or without the freak show. It will be up to the smaller organizations like Eastcoast and CCRA to market it and sale it and include the IHRA type cars if they want a place to race and a sport to hold on to. Local regional organizations need to get busy, somebody could be creating a market here if they have enough interest and business sense. The tracks need it too.
