2009 IHRA Championship Format Announced - Page 2

Bottom line is that this should add car count to events, period. I applaud IHRA for making this change and not just sitting around, content with the way things were, and letting IHRA sportsman racers lose a place to race. I do agree with the statement that there should be a required number of divisionals to attend, and feel this will be addressed. For those stating that they wish IHRA would have gotten more racer input...
R&S Motorsports said "If you notice at the very end of the letter it states that less than a dozen racers contacted IHRA regarding this matter personally I was never notified other than the rumor mill. I feel that they should have contacted the racers for input on this... "
Well, I was contacted a while ago for my input. I was given a copy of the proposed plan to review and offer my comments. Skooter was very open to my opinions and we discussed them on numurous occasions. He even apopted a couple of my suggestions into the final points structure. To say they did this without racer input is not fact.

Exactly Marc. Don't get me wrong. I am not complaining, I think we needed the change and I like the format. A little tweak here and there will make it even better. I also am looking forward to 2009. It will be less miles for me too.

So go out and win your 1 national and get to the champs race....and if you don't win that one go to another one...and if you don't win that one go to another one....see what their point is...

Its kinda a lame format to me but others are way more up at arms about it than me. I just wanna know what happened to the Motor City Nationals and if the divisional races are gone too?
