IHRA Rule changes

Angela Macy · 11-09-2007, 03:15 PM

It all sounds pretty fair to me. I especially like the fire jacket rule.

I do have a question though, this -"All classes may move up or down one class from the original classification" What is our Volare's original classification? Are they saying if it is originally classified as an I car that we could only run H, I, or J?

When are they going to put the divisional schedules out?! I need to plan our schedule.

I guess NO button rule in IHRA?
I'll bet not many records set either.

i think it means whatever class you claim to be in that your car fits in at the first race. so if scott runs I/CM at the first race of the year he can move to up to H or no lower Than J for the season... or if he ran J the first race he could only move up to I or down to K at any other race...i think

What about the new HP for the -1.600 pass at Rockingham, if it were a Ford it would have been changed before the race was finished. It took them about 12 hours to give me hp after i went -1.31 under. What abunch of crap. Atleast NHRA sticks to there system

As a natural I car, you can run H, I, or J. That wording was actually in the 2007 rulebook, so I'm not sure why they put it in as a revision.

Rockingham was the last race of the season. I'm sure they can get the new HP on it before February.

>> It once was the largest small block or simply largest engine used in that line of cars as a baseline. In other words, a 360 crate motor combo would use the heaviest 360 shipping weight, not a 318 or 6 cyl. shipping weight.

That's wording that *should* be in the rulebook but isn't, and I never have seen it in there. Until they do so, claiming different engines and thus shipping weights could get you into different classes. It *is* specified in the rules for Super Stock Production.

I wonder what the Indexes will be like for the SS Modified FI classes. Should be comparable to the carburated ones.
