I wanted to wait until at least they ran a couple races before I made a post or gave my opinion. I have to admit everything he has done so far is outstanding. the biggest thing that impressed me was the live coverage. (bonus that its free) feeding the racers, crew etc. is impressive too. I have not heard as far as guaranteeing the purses (especially with the sportsman low car counts) if he is that's great! I really do hope ihra succeeds. maybe they can get some major companies involved. I just mainly hope he does not "tease' us (stick around a year or two then vanish) also that they do not try to interfere with other series like pdra nhra etc.

Wish they would do a 2 or 3 hour tv show myself.

The new IHRA will be around as long as the new owner continues to write checks

He is Definatly writing alot of big ones. Saw an interview that he is also bringing back the drag boat series and looking for land out west to build a track with a drag boat lake similar to Firebird.

Wow! While I think that is good news for us do not think I could do it. Does not seem like a very good investment of money with direction racing in general has been going for 30 years.

I hope he proves me wrong and really brings in lots of racers, spectators and sponsors.
