They have done a lot with so little. Ive had my ups and downs and diagreements with management but to be honest.....I would rather race or work for free with IHRA than work with NHRA and be paid. If you can call what most NHRA tech people make getting paid. Dont get me wrong....I have some great friends who work for NHRA but they do it for the love of the sport and because of the racers just as I did for so many years for IHRA. I worked for NHRA in 1974-75 and believe me.....theres NO comparison between the two. Contrary to popular belief.....NHRA management cannot "Walk on Water". Terry Bell

I think IHRA would get alot more cars if the rules were enforced and they didn't have a class for everything, including your lawmower!. Get rid of the SPZ2-23A WTF classes!.
