IHRA Offshore Race Schedule.

That is interesting. No one is sure what's really gonna happen at this point.

Supposedly, to claim any of the purse or tow money, you have to enter and race in every one of their events. Not sure if that is true or not, at this point just rumors.

Obviously that's a shit-pot full of money. $331,250 per race, if they fill the final two spots, to make 8 events!

Strictly the facts not hearsay!

That will have to add a lot of motivation if true.

 

[Ratickle]

Yeah, it will certainly do something if true.

If they had 8 races and divided the money up evenly for the races and the boats, (and averaged 50 boats per race); they would give every team a check for $6,625 at every race, (if my math is correct).

79 days to St Pete, curious when more info will be put out?

 

[Ratickle]

They have added Cocoa Beach to their schedule. Made them an offer they couldn't refuse.

Their rulebook is supposed to be released the 15th.

Not sure what's next. Certainly is interesting.
