Never say never...
Alan will have some followers to the IHRA... he probably knows more than everyone else about the series or he wouldn't have been comfortable going there...We will see! |

good for him, surprised, though we still don't know what events the new and improved IHRA will host in 2025 no mind at what tracks.

I'm going to miss him announcing at the Division races he worked. Was entertaining and knew his stuff. Knew the cars, the racers, the classes, the combos...
Was hoping he would continue to do those, but not going to happen now. With all respect, some of the announcers are less than familiar with what is run at those races. |

Let Alan go, but keep Tony Pendragon? Why? Pendragon talks like no one has ever seen a drag race before in their entire life. I have found myself hitting the mute button on my remote when he starts to babble on, and on, and on about what this particular class is. Almost everyone that watches on T.V. knows what a top Fuel car is, or a Funny Car, or a Pro Stock Car. Alan is informative and entertaining. NHRA was not very bright in their decision in letting him go. Maybe he was sick of NHRA not giving the sportsman racers any air time, especially when there were rain delays, or oil down delays. People don't want to see driver interviews to fill up the dead air time. They want to see racing.
