2009 IHRA Rulebook Revisions and Clarifications

6/8/09

Qualifying / Paring Adjustment for Pro Am events: Effective immediately, competitors in Stock and Super Stock must have a valid elapsed time or attempt at least one qualifying pass to be placed on the ladder for eliminations. No class changes are permitted after a competitor has made a qualifying attempt.

I was under the impression that was the rules all along. I guess you have to have some casualties before rules can be inforced. For those who know what this is in regards to, it's only a joke. I'm not mad at ya'

Whelp, no more showing up on Sunday... That had saved me a lot of money a couple of times.

I agree with you Michael.....I really liked that part about IHRA...where you could show up Sunday without a time trial and race

hey Michael. can you set up an online vote on my new rule change. this rule also applies to double header racers who mite like to skip sunday morning qualifying after winning on saturday & attend church services before sundays race?

There is a Time run Sun. morning, I don't really see the problem. Joe

Now we operate the same as a national event. A new rule is just we need to keep snakes from slithering in, in the middle of the night at a Pro-Am to eat the slow and weak. That was HUGE problem. Of course THAT was legal by the rule book,,, then. Will we see a rule on the buy-backs?

I can't believe actually having to make a QUALIFYING pass in a qualified field is too much to expect !
They must think there is a benefit of being at the bottom of the qualifying list ?

There are quite a few that like to go bracket racing on Saturday then show up Sunday morning... Like Mr. Beard and Richard Alford for example.

And there are some who's work schedule gets them to the far off tracks late Saturday...
