DRR Trophy

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

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.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

I made the trip out Sunday, and I will say it was impressive tons of smiles the guy had people working on everything even in the heat. Let all the spectators from Saturday and anybody that showed up Sunday in for FREE! As far as the purses go a friend of mine went to the quarters in top sportsman in each race and got $800 each day. The people that aren't supporting this guy shame on you because he is doing things for the sport and sportsman racers that nobody else is.
