They've been IHRA for a long time now though. I did note that the track does still use "K" rail and I believe the NHRA wanted them to have concrete walls the length of the track (like Vegas). Smaller tracks obviously can't spend that kind of money. Down side is that you won't have a "team" finals to attend if that's your bag....unless you feel like towing east of the Mississippi.

Hopefully that's a plus, but honestly that doesn't fit the way RMR has ussually operated.

The inspection sticker is more of a track thing(maybe they deal with other tracks on this as well) but the IHRA has it also. I ran my NHRA numbers for along time at the IHRA track till I signed up with the IHRA using my NHRA number... it was fine(no one had my number). The IHRA does push the tracks to be racer/family friendly
