I don't know. Looking at their rules, there seems to be a lot of emphasis on grass roots and nostalgia racing.
They've got to be a bit different....they can't go head to head with NHRA for the fuel cars and the dog and pony show. They don't have the venue, and there is simply not enough cars to support three organizations.
To me, their rules are promising. I'm rooting for them...but we'll see.

Our local track just signed with the AHRA last week. Ihra wasn't bringing anything to the table for the track and with such high fees for the Ihra banner, it was back to the Ahra. Thats what our track started as so it might be a nice change.
What track is this? Trails?

NHRA is geting old holding their hand out for more money..
do you think these guys will be any different? we almost lost our place to race with greed. and the ceo of ahra was a key player in that happening.
the old saying carful what you wish for it may come true come to mind.
like all tracks i wish you guys all the best.
i think the track managment means more to the well being of the track than who's sign they hang out front

They got my vote! I hope they make it. Grass roots racing needs them. Cattering to the few with big $ will eventually catch up with NHRA. Just a matter of time. Maybe AHRA can speed the process along.
