IHRA President Aaron Polburn denies any truth to an unsubstantiated rumor circulating that suggests the IHRA plans to run a complete eighth mile schedule in 2008.

In fact, Polburn laughed for a full 15 seconds before responding, “Does that answer your question?”

“Where did that one come from?” Polburn asked. “We would consider running one or two somewhere, but as of right now – no.”

Polburn told Torco's CompetitionPlus.com that the IHRA Knoll Gas Nitro Jam Series is looking very seriously at running an eighth-mile national event in 2009 at a facility not currently on the tour.
