Here is a real can of worms to open but I feel I have to ;D This pertains to a predicament at our local track here in Saskatchewan, Canada. We have been an NHRA track since first opening in 1966 and have remained so... at least till now.
We have been approached by the IHRA, as well as a number of region tracks (i'm talking Alberta, Manitoba, Montana and N. Dakota) to join them. They are offering to set us up with our own division and perks? that go with, you know divisionals etc.
Now, some regional tracks are already IHRA and some not (almost 50/50) and we have the usual splits with racers, most longtime locals want nothing to do with IHRA, and others seeing that the NHRA has done absolutely NOTHING > for us as well as most all Canadian tracks,they want to switch.
I don't want this to become ugly : but it probably will with everybody being different but no one knows what to think about this and I think asking the B.S faithfull will get me an honest view of both as the members her live far closer to the thick of both IHRA and NHRA turf.
So how about it pro's and con's?
