IHRA Class guide?

goinbroke2 · 08-31-2007, 11:12 PM

After seeing this a million times, it struck me...where is the "Official IHRA stock car classification guide"? I always used the NHRA one....but at the first of every stock class it says "reserved for automobiles listed in the Official IHRA stock car classification guide".
I've looked all over the web site and can't find a thing.

Same as NHRA, with possible exception of cars adjusted by NHRA's AHFS.

I understand it's the SAME as NHRA, but is there an actual IHRA guide?
I never thought about it before, but one sanctioning body totally relying on another one for it's technical info?

Why not use the same guide? If saves IHRA the money of developing and maintaining their own, and it also cuts down on alot of confusion for folks who race their cars in both sanctioning bodies.

Where do you get the crate motor hp rating?

Oh I agree completely Chris, it just struck me strange that the rule book states to check the IHRA guide when in fact there isn't one. I thought I'd been missing something all these years...well more than the obvious! Lol!!

Tim, That place was PACKED. I was very surprised with the amount of people that showed up. The last i heard it was 368 Pro Am cars.

But sadly we are home waaay too early. Howie broke a rod on the burnout the first run of the weekend.

Kick some tail and extend that points lead this weekend!

There were 56 cars entered in Stock. We were just at Milan and their were only 54 entered there - for a National event. So I would say the car count was pretty good. I dunno about Super Stock as we don't run that class.

There was a 30% chance of rain today, but looks like they dodged it and got everything in.

However, last night for the combo race it started raining at about 10:30ish and they had to cancel the race. We got $182 (or was it $189??) in the split.

I think they may have miscalculated that split though. To win was $1000, runner up was $400, Semi was $100 and Quarters was $50 - so that's $1700 total, right? That would have meant 9 cars were left - I thought their were more than that. In Fact, when I went to pick up the check, they had everyone's name who was still in wrote on a sheet of paper. Scott wasn't on that sheet - so they had to go through the run cards to verify Scott was still in. I wonder if they didn't leave more people off the sheet by accident, which might explain why the cut was a lot higher than I expected. Anyone else have any insight on this? Just curious.
