IHRA also bought Maple Grove, Memphis, and Heartland Park Topeka. I found this video of an IHRA race on 1988 at Darlington when Billy Myer became president of IHRA.
I like that IHRA has committed 100% all in on trying to up their series that will give the lesser funded teams a good place to race, but I hope they are not biting off more than they can chew. I do think it will force NHRA to up their game also which should be better for the racers that race...
I was watching some old videos, and I ran a cross a couple that showed the crashes that Big Jims son Mike Dunn had in Roland Leong's Hawaiian Punch FC. Thank God he walked away without a scratch.
