IHRA and the DP

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

Ok, any IHRA Gurus here wanna chime in on this it would be appreiated.

On of my favorite local tracks is an IHRA track....

I have heard the CJ's and DP's have their own class in the IHRA ?

What is it ?

Will / Can an NHRA Comp Liscence cross over to the IHRA or do I need to "recert" as in passes etc ?

Im not looking at making a move away from the NHRA but for some of the events in our area it would be nice to race with my friends who almost exclusivley run there and under the IHRA banner (if any)

Any tips / hints would be great for getting all the "ducks" in a row paperwork wise.

Cheers

IHRA still has seperate classes for EFI / Carb cars. The CJ's which fit only in AA are alone in AA/FI and AA/FIA. The DP will share classes with the LT1 & LS1 cars as they do now but within the FI class structure, just no carb cars.

So right now the DP cannot compete ?

DP should be able to run at the same weight break it runs NHRA, just the class letters are different.

See you in Chicago next weekend.

Cool....yeah we hope to make Chicago....I think it will be sans Mandie She has a Gig, shes trying to reschedule, but it was my screw up on dates and times of events, actually it wasnt a screw up it was a change from our plans.....It was an added event, we had originally just planned on Bristol and Norwalk....but....well see....

And if we miss it , it will probably be the first time its NOT because of the DP .... lol ...

It will be because of things more important that Racing....the kids and that Im 100% fine with....So is the old man....

But were shooting for it.....

I don't see why not. With the 5.7 you should be able to run the following. Note that the fuel injected classes have one pound weight breaks.

B/FIA @ 2915

C/FIA @ 3220

D/FIA @ 3525

Cool, 3220 would be the lightest I can go, does the IHRA have a Problem being Overweight ?

No. I am always a good bit heavy for class. As long as you don't break the rules in regards to ballast I don't think they will say anything.

Excellent, thank you all so very much, on another thread I saw something about Chassis Cert, can I do that at any Event ?
