orlando speedworld going ihra

Track worker last night said switching to ihra. I assume at beginning of the year, didn't ask. Going to really miss the divisional there. Really nice new track surface too.

That makes two good tracks that NHRA has lost down south ...what a shame ??

The loss of tracks in south Florida is some what do to a past division director of NHRA.
I was at the bracket finals representing PBIR and saw it first hand, the NHRA director at the time wouldn't even come over to say hello or to welcome to the PBIR management that was at that race. It didn't take long after that, PBIR went IHRA and never looked back.
On the other hand, it will make Florida it's own division of IHRA.

I was hoping it would be the other way around and SGMP would go back to NHRA. I cant imagine that IHRA is more lucrative than NHRA as far as the big events go. IHRA pro am events don't get near the car count. Having an all Florida division in IHRA would be nice though.
