Steve CurtisGUEST
And that's exactly... what he should do.
Steve CurtisGUEST
And when I say the issues that he's got, it's with the parent company rather than IHRA.
Steve CurtisGUEST
IHRA was a total, it wasn't a business at this stage, it was a hobby.
Steve CurtisGUEST
It was almost a charity, to be honest.
Steve CurtisGUEST
And that's why I felt that it was, the way he was treated afterwards, like he was had ripped everybody off.
Steve CurtisGUEST
I'm sure there's going to be some repercussions of it, you know, once all the accounts get involved, but...
Steve CurtisGUEST
You know, he's not the guy that's, you know, sitting down there going, oh, I'm signing this check for that person, this check for that person.
Steve CurtisGUEST
You know, it was a lump that went into the people who are running IHRA.
Todd BehlingHOST
Do we know who owns that track? I don't even know that we know a name there.
Dan MargettaHOST
National IHRA, right?
Todd BehlingHOST
IHRA, that's right.
Todd BehlingHOST
They bought it.
Todd BehlingHOST
I think they bought it.
Brian SchmidtHOST
You have a drag strip there, but are you gonna get a date from NHRA? Probably not.
Brian SchmidtHOST
They don't run there.
Brian SchmidtHOST
IHRA is the other big drag racing series.
Erin MorganGUEST
Yeah, Erin Morgan.
Erin MorganGUEST
I raced a 69 Camaro in mostly pro now, pro or mod, depending on if it's NHRA or IHRA.
Erin MorganGUEST
Used to do open comp, index racing, just anything that looked fun.
Erin MorganGUEST
I
Trish WittGUEST
So points wise, not great.
Trish WittGUEST
Uh, the goal, well, we made NHRA bracket finals.
Trish WittGUEST
We are trying to make IHRA bracket finals, you know, the whole Maple Grove drama went down.
Trish WittGUEST
So now it's kind of stalled out where we don't get our last points race in.
Jordan CroweGUEST
it was it was pretty cool for how how young i was and how much i actually uh remembered yeah kind of wish i was this age now with it but
Brandon BarkerHOST
Yeah, and that was in, like, that was through the height of the IHRA with the alcohol funny car deal, right? Yeah.
Brandon BarkerHOST
Like, that was because Dylan was driving?
Jordan CroweGUEST
Yeah, Dylan was the driver.
Mitch SmedleyHOST
And so, um, you know, as an outsider, we'll never know, but ultimately Durana Hybrid's had to put ...
Mitch SmedleyHOST
Durana Hybrid is the IHRA by the way.
Mitch SmedleyHOST
Same owner.
David HiltonHOST

Mitch SmedleyHOST
You don't know what the IHRA is?
David HiltonHOST
No.
David HiltonHOST
What are you talking about?
David HiltonHOST
You mean the NHRA.
BillyAUDIENCE
Appreciate you taking the call.
BillyAUDIENCE
This is probably a little bit more of a niche thing, but there's two sanctioning bodies within drag racing, NHRA and IHRA.
BillyAUDIENCE
And in the past, I think it's been going on longer than that, but it's been coming out east over here.
BillyAUDIENCE
IHRA has been buying up and taking over NHRA sanctioned tracks.
BillyAUDIENCE
His ties with Elon Musk is giving the guys the money and all sorts of conspiracies.
BillyAUDIENCE
A lot of these tracks are getting turned into data centers and just falling apart.

CaseyHOST
Everything was fine.
CaseyHOST
Last year in November, went to IHRA, and I don't claim to 100% know what I'm doing, guys.
CaseyHOST
Basically, I've never had anything like what I have right now, so I'm just learning as I go.
CaseyHOST
And I learned a lot of stuff the hard way and shook the tires real bad at IHRA.
CaseyHOST
Anybody who watched that live feed at Galat in November last year would see that.
CaseyHOST
In fact, I want to say, I wish we had the clip to bring in right now, but I know that George sent it to me and the announcer was like, keep an eye on the Chevelle.
Megan MeyerHOST
Cause it's just, I mean, this year, like I'll be on it.
Megan MeyerHOST
Like this year we have really struggled in the racing department and, you know, planned on doing at least five IHRA races.
Megan MeyerHOST
I got one in and then the series died.
Megan MeyerHOST
So I was planning, you know, a lot of sponsorship stuff, a lot of content around that, doing some displays and all that type of stuff.
Katie HalperHOST
I also want to ask you about if you could talk about the comparisons that are not allowed to be made.
Katie HalperHOST
At least, you know, there's this attempt with the IHRA, the International Holocaust Remembrance Association.
Katie HalperHOST
I don't know what the British equivalent is, though, but the.
Katie HalperHOST
Oh, it is the same.
