Please let me "correct" ONE (lol) thing: It certainly does not appear the IRS is "out of business". They have 2020 races officially scheduled at South Bend (could you run some of your cars in it? The Fort Wayne ones right?), I have it on good authority they should also continue to run Rockford Speedway, and this was posted on their FB page one week ago:
"The 2020 season is looking to be our biggest season yet. Working on the 2020 schedule and we should be returning to some familiar track's and possibly a few new tracks. We also look to have some new teams and driver's racing with us. Keep watching this page for announcement on our annual meeting to discuss rules and the 2020 schedule."
Take a glance at their NICE website, espcly this page -

Looks like a LOT of work being put into the series this off-season (& I am not trying to take away from other racing series...I know a lot of them do a lot of work..this is primarily - last I knew - a stock engine based pavement club; so hopefully no one is offended by this post! lol)
