Went to an IHRA show a couple of years back, you are right about the casual.... Almost get the idea that these guys are still racing cuz they love doing it and not just to schmooz the sponsors. Although I sure do wish I could catch one of those big buck sponsors!!!! First year the local strip here switched to IHRA it was fun to go down there and watch the chebbie guys pop their motors from too big a shot of nitrous!!!!! Believe most of them dropped back to a bit smaller shot after a melt down or two.... Oh well, that's how we all learn!!!
