IHRA @ Columbus
 

I have sent emails, waiting for replies.
I would like to race at Columbus, but basically all I know are the dates and purse.
I need to know more than that before I take off three days of work, tow 5-6 hours.

I think this is where you pre-enter and purchase tickets.

Please share your experience.

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

I have sent membership stuff and pre- entered ...you pay at the gate...
sent e mails asking questions.
If I get any information, I will post it here...

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

I've not found the rules we are racing by. Where can you find them? Classes indexes??
Have they fixed the goofy seat belt and chassis cert foolishness? They can fix it now.

I have also sent an e-mail requesting rules and have heard nothing in over 2 weeks. There are plenty of people listed as employees but no titles. I sent it to general questions.

Posted now.

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

Appears to be a copy and paste of NHRA, just reformatted.

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

That makes sense to me. Makes it easy for us to go to either event. I?m hopeful they fix the issues with NHRA?s classification guide and how they adjust. I can?t seem to find that information.

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

Rules, indexes now posted at least a little information.
has super stock production and crate motor stockers listed in indexes, but no mention in rules, so not sure if they were maybe left in indexes by accident.

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

Looks like 2008 and newer copo, drag packs and cobra jets are SS only

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

That's an odd exclusion because they have designations and indexes listed for all of the Stock FS/ classes?

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

I like that idea, they are paper cars from the manufacture's, like the 60's lightweight cars from the Big 3.

Are they running class?

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

Doubt it. I have never seen IHRA run class eliminations. Just looked at their website and it looks like it crashed or they took it down. It was up a little while ago and I looked at the classes and rules. Rules mirrored NHRA

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

They have the factory stock indexes listed for the COPO, drag pack and Cobra Jet cars on their website now for stock eliminator

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

rules and indexes are up go to IHRA website or look on Competition plus site read the article a link there for info--FED 387

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

They ran class eliminations at the World Nationals, i'm sure they probably did at other events.

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

They used to have class eliminations at the Northern Nationals when they were held at US 131 as well as the World Nationals.

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

At one time they ran them at Carolina Dragway.

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

ihra ran class runoffs .. i have one from shreveport LA.. maybe they will again after they get the ball rolling .

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

I'd forgotten.... So they did run Class. If they want participation pulled from SGMP's Sports, they need to do it again...

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

]Hello, we also received a class winner plaque for IHRA Run Offs in 2000, for modified eliminator

Looks like indexes down to ss/ps needs to be added.
Superstock production carburetors i.e. 2/4, 1/4 or 2
Cylinder head aluminum in SS/CS? Carb sizes?
Anyone know these specs

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

I wish they would have waited and got all there stuff together for next year.. If this goes off as an unplanned cluster.. that will be all she wrote.. It is paying good money.. They got that part right.. I hope it goes great, just hate to see people show up and everything be not organized when they get there..

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

Be patient and work with them. Remember it?sa big project and we all need it to succeed.

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

The fact is they have not run any events of this caliber for many years. You have to expect there will be some problems/issues at the beginning. Patience will be needed. Dont expect it to run as seamlessly as a NHRA national event. Like others have said this is a good thing for our sport.

Re: IHRA @ Columbus
 

oh i agree 100%.. Just saying.. hope they got as many ducks in a row.. i want this to be a thing as much or more than anyone..
