IHRA going back to class racing

[Keith 944]

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

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

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."

They had a pro-am there once I believe it was a flood and not enough room. I didn?t know they were up and running again, that would be great

Capitol is the highest north they come in D1, if heard from a few racers that run there it?s basically a grudge track now and somewhat unorganized, hopefully this announcement helps but for the most part all the IHRA D1 tracks disappeared (Richmond) or went to WDRA (MIR, US13, Keystone, Empire, Etc). So the D1 (or D3 as it?s called now) Capitol, Custom T?s, Dragway 42, Kuhnle Raceway Park, Pacemakers and Quaker City.

it's known more for it's shootings!

Just for clarification, there will be no pro-ams next year, just the three nitro jams with all the original classes (TD, TS, STK, SS, HR, SR, QR, JRS) and pro categories. The idea is to show potential marketing partners, track partners, and racers what IHRA class racing and national events would look like to get further support for a full class racing schedule in 2026. And to hand out the first of the original Iron Men.

I think it's great and will attend any race or nitro jam that's within 10 hours.

I haven't seen any specifics, but I really hope they return to all the original IHRA class indexes for 1/8th mile. No more of this 6.30 and 6.90 bull****. I want Super Rod to run 6.40 and Hot Rod to on a 7.00 index the God intended.
