Class Eliminations

TOSTO RACING · 01-27-2025, 12:29 PM

As many class eliminations as you can fit in the schedule and yes we need Top Stock back!!

Thanks Alan for actually asking the racers !!!!

Alan, twice in each division per year. Whether it is at a National or Divisional
event, we will leave up to you and your people. Leave all options open
so that we don't become critical. I know as a rule racers never complain
about things that sanctioning bodies decide.

It should also be noted that tech and teardowns seem to be a common theme here on CR. If IHRA plans to go back to championship class racing, that needs to be an integral part of it.

Guys , seems as though a lot of you are sharing your thoughts on NHRA racing …..I would love for IHRA to succeed BUT you really need large car counts for EXCITING class eliminations ….

What JGrossiJr said with exception of permanent class events at Winters, Gators and Indy not to count against 1 per division per year total so a total of (10) class opportunities

You do understand Alan doesn't work for NHRA anymore, I believe he is asking under his new position at IHRA

What MJ said! Combo class isn?t near as exciting as multiple entries in a class. Whatever geographical region IHRA targets for class needs to be supported for them to warrant any class elimination. Perhaps Top Stock and Junior Stock would be logical to start with and ramp up class eliminations based on the level of support they get.

Rotate class Eliminations every other event
Stock 1 event
Super stock the next event
It?s probably more manageable for event scheduling
