If it weren't for the lack of venues, landspeed racing is open to anyone.

The best possible outcome for this war is for both organizations to stay in business and compete. The racers, fans and sponsors can only benefit if that happens. Competition almost always improves the product. I have to admit, though, I enjoy the resurgence of IHRA. NHRA has treated the sportsman racers like crap for decades and the fans even worse. Their super arrogant attitude has really turned allot of people away from the sport. IHRA has the money to really put serious pressure on the NHRA. Just like Sears found out, no business is "too big" to fail.
