IHRA going back to class racing

[j gardiner]

Any thoughts, or does anyone care?

[Frank Castros]

The more Class Racing the better. However, how will the integrity of the category be legitimized?

If the IHRA wants to make a hit, hire the best of the Technical and lane management people as possible and above all PAYOUT! Value for entry is critical.
In reality its not a Wally, but when you think about it, you'll see that most of the same racers will be there IF it's value based.
Determine your own priority.

I must have missed that. I read the story and it says top fuel, funny car, pro stock etc. but not any sportsmen classes. They are paying great for the bracket races at the world finals with even the jr dragster classes running for $12,500 for the world champion.

We will support the IHRA as long as the travel makes sense. I want this series to survive and thrive. I support and believe in Larry Jeffers,Kenny Knowling and IHRA. I think Jim Bailey would be a great hire for IHRA Stock, Super Stock tech.

Check out the video, he says there will be pro-am races with all the old IHRA classes , plus 3 nitro jam races.

Back in early 2000's, I attended both nhra and ihra in div. 4 and entered in stock, I was always shocked how few nhra racers would go to an ihra race even though entries and payouts were the same.
Both entities need the racers support, especially the underdog.

Does the north east division even have any IHRA tracks left?

[1320racer]

NHRA racers do not, will not support this clown show known as IHRA. It will be short lived again!

[Pauley]

I will support it if at all possible. But i am with Keith on the track situation. I figure Darlington will get something i will go to.

Where did you guys see this? All I can locate is IHRA intendeds to get back to Class Cars. I understand that to mean their wanting to transition from an all Bracket racing series to one that includes class cars. I don't think their talking about Stock and Superstock.. Or Comp. Specifically, "three IHRA Nitro Jam events will take place in 2025 headlined by Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Mod and Mountain Motor Pro Stock Classes with zero entry fees for all of the Classes."
