Skooter Peaco's Open Letter To All IHRA National Event Sportsman Competitors - Page 4

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.

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.

I appland Skooter Peaco bold move too invigorate the old points system, not only does he have the imagination to come up with this but, the extraordinary vision to bring our sport to the next level. Well done Skooter. IHRA AND DAMM PROUD OF IT. Richard Calabrese.

#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!

#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.
