I am not convinced Musk ever knew anything about IHRA, much less that he supported it.

To me the biggest hurt is the number of good but small tracks along with Columbus in Ohio these tracks many of us were our first experience in drag racing. And are most likely not to survive this mess
I was 10 when I visited a cousin near 42 and I could hear the cars, bugging Dad to take me over. My first pass on a track was Milan another track on the block.
All due to Bozo and his ego.

This guy will go down as one of the biggest sh*tbags to be involved in the sport and the damage that has been done will take years to come back from if it ever does for those tracks and racers. There's a large number of people that have now lost their home track due to this and those are the people I feel the worse for.

That was one thing I always found especially laughable- the suggestion that Musk was funding IHRA behind the scenes (outside of his other business arrangements with Cuttell) because they were such good buddies or he was a secret drag racing fan or something. Musk has never shown any interest in racing (or any other sport) and I believe has flatly dismissed the idea of Tesla as a company becoming involved in any sort of electric vehicle racing.
As for the IHRA & Cuttell overall, as one of the vocal doubters from very early on, it still sucks to be right about this.

This is what I was thinking about but didn't realize it was back in 2016...looks like they totally redid the track entirely.
