I saw elsewhere that this appears to be an ad from 2024. If that’s the case drag central is either clueless or just trying to stir the pot.

Would not surprise me. You know what they say about believing what you read on Nitromater.

I’m horribly afraid that this is EXACTLY what it is.If it turns out to be a land grab for data centers after all, the feeling that we were being fooled all along because some wealthy f*****s saw us as a bunch of suckers to be played will be painful for some to admit that drag racing can never be looked at as a serious sport, and its just a bunch of hucksters looking for their next mark to prey upon.

Yup! See! Told everyone. Crap.
Thanks guys. Just helping out AB for the swing. They needed a driver for the hospitality rig. Unsure of anything after that, open to offers.

I'll be there for the weekend. A buddy is running in SG. Would be great to meet a fellow 'Mater!Thanks guys. Just helping out AB for the swing. They needed a driver for the hospitality rig. Unsure of anything after that, open to offers.
Come on by AB’s pit, I will likely be around the hospitality area. We will be there Tuesday.
I'll be there Fri-Sun. I'll swing by and ask for ya!

Someone just mentioned this on another post on Nitromater, and it is what I saw posted elsewhere yesterday. If you click on the link below, it takes you to the CBRE brochure for the Topeka site. Scroll all the way to the bottom and it says the brochure is copyright 2024. Hopefully the track is not still for sale. Here is the link https://www.cbre.com/resources/file...fea9/0da6ddad-474d-4a9c-89b0-d361b66a7ddd.pdf
That is old, the track is not (currently) for sale.

Sounds like the racers are ready to continue with IHRA IF IHRA can continue to do what they were doing. Hopefully this "problem" what ever it is, is just a speed bump in the progression of IHRA. Things happen maybe it still can be saved.

my perception is, the hebron race was allowed to happen without proper funding in place.
at this point, if ihra comes back with a 2027 anything, as a racer, do you even go unless you are prepared to race for nothing?
creasy and others have every right to not race nhra, and IMO nhra understands their lower payouts are likely the reason
they experience light fields. now if nhra had 2 pro classes instead of 4, maybe their purse structure for TF and FC could change?

Creasy doesn’t want to make three passes and only make $10K racing NHRA and I get that. In Columbus he made three runs for nothing. The racers are contractors, put on a great show, held up their end of the bargain, and now they need to be paid. Not paying them makes Daryl a crook. No excuse.
As for the racers, why would they return to run IHRA if they don’t get paid or if it takes a long time to get it? Nitro is a drug and those addicted will do anything for another hit. I would quit racing before racing for his organization.
