Re: IHRA going back to class racing
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. |

Re: IHRA going back to class racing
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.

Re: IHRA going back to class racing
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.

Re: IHRA going back to class racing
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.

Re: IHRA going back to class racing
Does the north east division even have any IHRA tracks left?

Re: IHRA going back to class racing
NHRA racers do not, will not support this clown show known as IHRA. It will be short lived again!

Re: IHRA going back to class racing
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."
