Default Re: IROC to liquidate with auction in New Jersey

not fair to compare IROC to NASCAR. what eventually hurt IROC was its dominance by NASCAR drivers. it seemed that half of every field was a NASCAR driver. i had an idea that i forwarded to IROC a few years back.
race 4 races, 1 short track, 1 restrictor plate, 1 drag race and 1 dirt race. NHRA drivers need to be added. the key to IROC was landing dates on weekends with other track events. imagine the potential of having these IROC cars draging at Thunder Valley in Bristol Tennessee the same weekend that they run the Sharpie 500. Have a super ticket where you get NHRA, NASCAR, and IROC all for 1 weekend.
NHRA could match up schedules with NASCAR at Bristol, Las Vegas, Chicago and Charlotte. Drivers included would be:
4 - NHRA (Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro Stock bikes)
2 - CHAMP/IRL
2 - World of Outlaws, USAC
4 - NASCAR (2 from Cup, 1 from Busch, 1 from Trucks)
