"Trans Am" from 1970 racing also had Challengers, Barracudas, Javelins and possibly a Cougar!

OK, let me get this straight. 10 grand for the winner plus contingency, you can stay home and race at your local track and run the closest national event to get into the "big show" at the end, you can travel to as many nationals as you want knowing that each national you win will be one less person to run against at the "big show"....and people are STILL BITCHING???!!!
"A guy might run one national and become the champ" HOLY %^&*!!! EVERYBODY HAS THE SAME CHOICE DUMBASS!!! YOU COULD RUN ONE EVENT THEN GO AND WIN ALL THE MARBLES AT THE BIG SHOW TOO!!! Yes the hitters will probably win one somewhere and be at the finals, so? If you don't win your local you can still travel and try and get in. Main points to follow; 1) 10,000 to win each national (how much is it to win stock in nhra again?) 2) one win and you qualify for the finals 3) you can still travel if you want 4) you don't HAVE to travel if you can't afford it 5) guys with big $$$ won't accumulate all the points (it levels the field) 6) the best will still win only now there is a better chance of a lower guy (not a fletcher etc) win a national and have a good day at the final and be the champ. C'mon people, stop looking for something to cry about. |

It is actually $10,000 to win the Championship, not a national event.

#2 I was simply stating MY OPINION as someone who supports the IHRA divisional & national events that I (the key word "I") didn't't feel it would be fair that there would be a POSIBILITY that someone could not attend any divisinal events (meaning not support there division) & just go to 1 national, win and be given the oppotunity to be the world champ. #3 Leave the name calling to a face to face meeting, not when you can hide behind a keyboard and a screen name!

No matter how you feel about this you have to hand it to IHRA for the time, effort and thought they put into the new system.
Is it perfect...? no... Would I have done some things different...? yes... Did more effort go into this project than NHRA has devoted to Sportsman other than "enhancements" in the last five years...? definitely... Don't get me wrong I am a huge fan of NHRA Sportsman racing but I will probably never be able to afford that game. However with the IHRA system I could at least have a chance of making a national top 10, even living in Tulsa. Bill Lamb IHRA #4340 |

#3 Your right I was too wound up initially when reading this. I apologise. I think Scooter has made efforts where others have not and in doing so will benefit many. The same as running two events in one weekend caused a commotion at first, over time most realised it is a money/time saver for everyone. |

The air must get thinner way up there when you are that tall! Jim

Jim, just a sniff of the rarified air at this altitude is enough to make one light-headed......guess that explains a lot of things don't it???

I am tempted to field a car and a driver just for this Program. I think it' s a move in the right direction. According to my prognosticators, this might be just what the doctor ordered. I am not certain I would call the overall winner a National Champion though.
