Exciting Racing from the Past to Return with IHRA Hot Rod Classic
You asked for it and the IHRA is going to deliver.
Taking a chapter from the International Hot Rod Association’s rich history, the IHRA Hot Rod Classic is set to debut in 2024. These exciting engine-roaring, tire-smoking events will be similar to the Pro-Am races from previous years with drivers in Quick Rod, Super Rod and Hot Rod classes battling to earn special black and chrome IHRA Ironman trophies.
In addition, there will be a heads-up Real Steel, No-Time class that requires OEM steel shell, steel doors and steel fenders (with the exception of those originally fiberglass, which must be factory-original parts). No Billet heads or engine blocks are allowed.
Top Sportsman and Top Dragster will be contested at the majority of events depending on location as will bracket races for the Top (Box), Mod (No Box) and Junior Dragster classes. Each event will be tailored to the individual tracks which could include other classes popular in their areas. Racers must be IHRA members to compete in these events.
With the smell of racing fuel in the air and sounds of cars rocketing down the track, it’s sure to get your blood pumping as a true celebration of the IHRA’s racing heritage.
