And if the IHRA had ever been a better deal for the pro racers, they would have been there.

At one time it was a better deal some pro racers and they were there.

..... and a new insurance carrier.
John,
You're correct, I could have worded that better. At one time IHRA did have a great competition program and many of the Pro racers ran on both sides. But the show they put on today is not one that is going to lure the big teams away from NHRA.
And I'm not slamming them, they have changed their format and it seems to be working for them.
Alan
They changed there format even more and got rid of TF entirely. Hopefully that means NHRA sees more of Litton, Bobby Lagana, Dom Lagana Although i know that the Lagana had a deal where 1 tunes the other while the other races, I dont even know if they own 2 dragsters
Not the announcement of the new starter or anthing to do with Larry Dixon's plans. I'll only say that I think it's cool and hopefully everyone else will as well.
Oh, and Patrick. Anxiously awaiting the arrival of your book.

As far as NHRA promoting the event, that would be a little like Wal-Mart promoting a sale at K-Mart.

Well, I just checked NHRA.COM and lo-and-behold, they have posted a story about the pre-season testing in South Florida. See the link below. They just conveniently leave out the name of the track. Okay, at least NHRA has acknowledged the existence of the testing. Kudos to the NHRA.COM web team.

And they even have the IHRA logo showing in the Courtney Force picture! So there you have it.
I think "we" being mater pressured them. They did not even acknowledge this last year. At least they made progress now. See, it makes my case solid. I proved they had no reason but to promote their stars no matter who owns what. They even have a pic that shows it's an IHRA track. Good Job NHRA.

Sorry Patrick but that is absolutely NOT true. The event is over, so they are reporting the news. Just like they do with the Las Vegas testing and others. NHRA doesn't promote the Vegas test, or the Monday testing that happens at many tracks during the year. But they do report on it.
Taks Alexis for just one example, They never said "Come to the Texas Motorplex and see Alexis make license runs." But after it happened they said "Alexis earned her license" You report on the event after it has happened.
