NHRA Reveals Plans For IRP

[Ryan_Haag]

The old tower is gone. We were there last weekend for a bracket race and they are using a Connex Box for the tower now. Pretty sad that Indy is the showcase for drag racing and the powers at be are not smart enough to have plans and funding ready to go as soon as the tower was torn down over the winter to start the new one.

Incredibly poor planning to conduct "the worlds biggest drag race and showcase event" without a proper tower facility. Great look for corporate sponsors looking at our sport. I've tried to see the brighter side of some of NHRA's decisions the last 15 yrs or so but ..!
Sad state of affairs, the pinnacle, the meca, the epicentre of it all, Indy Nat'ls becoming more like carnival and less of what it used to be. As WJ once stated " the circus has come to town."

And as Larry Morgan once stated "You can't fix stupid."

the racers and fans are still coming, that's all that counts! The tower nor the time line for the improvements effects either!
