....when you don't have any racers! Appears IHRA has sunk to a new level in sportsman class racer participation. AP and the boy's managed a whopping 125 class cars in competition at Palm Beach.This was in addition to the 16 "show" nitro cars..8 N/FC...4T/F....4 A/FD or which only a handful got down the track side by side.
9 Top Sportsman(remember AP's earlier release.......These guys were going to be the pro "Doorslammer" show,that's why no need for ProMod. ) IHRA T/S fields are 32 Qualified cars
9 S/S
19 Stock.......you get it. Just 3 short years ago car counts of 500+
No full field in any class.I feel sorry for the real drag race fan.
Of course if you read the IHRA spin the event was a huge success.
To directly quote Aaron Polburn from the release " Mission accomplished ".
I think somebody else #&*@'..d up by saying that a couple years back!
RIP IHRA
