2007 IHRA DRAG RACING SERIES REVISED NATIONAL EVENT SCHEDULE
IHRA CHANGES GRAND BEND AND NEW HAMPSHIRE DATES ON 2007 EMAX NITRO JAM™ DRAG RACING SERIES SCHEDULE
NORWALK, Ohio (November 8, 2006) – IHRA has announced a change to the 2007 eMax Nitro Jam™ Drag Racing Series schedule. The MOPAR Canadian Nationals at Grand Bend (Ontario) Motorplex will be held July 20 – 22 and the Amalie Oil North American Nationals at New England (Epping, N.H.) Dragway moves to August 10 – 12.
The North American Nationals, previously held in September and originally scheduled next year in July, has been moved to August to accommodate an unforeseen conflict for one of the event sponsors.
“After releasing the 2007 schedule in October, there became an event conflict with one of our major partners for the North American Nationals,” said IHRA vice president of race operations Skooter Peaco. “The new weekend in August allows us to avoid conflicts with any other event in the area. It gives the event the full attention in the market, which will be good for everyone.”
Originally scheduled the first weekend in June, the MOPAR Canadian Nationals will move to the newly opened July 20 – 22 weekend.
“By moving the event, it not only eliminates the need for race teams to make two back-to-back weekends, but moves the Canadian Nationals to a weekend that historically has experienced much better weather,” said Peaco. “The team at Grand Bend embraced the idea of moving their event into the peak tourist season and so did our partners at Mopar and Castrol. The Grand Bend area grows from a small town in early June to a booming town in July when beach season is in full swing. Not only will this change put the event in front of more spectators, it will give us better odds at having a great weather weekend.”
The 2007 IHRA eMax Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series schedule is list below. For more information, log onto www.ihra.com. Media requests should be directed to Travis Reynolds at (419) 660-4225, travisreynolds@livenation.com, or Mike Perry, (419) 660-4213, mikeperryihra@livenation.com.

IHRA ANNOUNCES 2007 MR. GASKET PRO-AM SCHEDULE
IHRA ANNOUNCES 2007 MR. GASKET PRO-AM SCHEDULE
NORWALK, Ohio (December 1, 2006) – The IHRA Competition Department has announced the 2007 Mr. Gasket Pro-Am Tour schedule.
Expanding upon the successful double-event format from last season, nearly all of the 2007 races will be doubles. This allows drivers to travel to a scheduled event and compete and earn points for two races, all in one weekend. In addition, two venues will host an event where the points can be counted toward multiple divisions.
“Travel costs are not going down anytime soon, so this format, combined with the sportsman-friendly restructure of the national and Pro-Am points system will provide incredible value to IHRA sportsman competitors and host track operators,” said IHRA Vice President of Racing Operations Skooter Peaco. “Creating innovative solutions to help sportsman competitors compete both on the national and Pro-Am level is what makes IHRA uniquely different from the mainstream.
“The best way to measure the success of the double-event concept is by how the competitors responded,” added Peaco. “The racers spoke, as we saw substantial car count increases at those events over most single event weekends.”
The series kicks-off in Florida, February 10-11, at Immokalee Regional Raceway, the first opportunity for competitors to take advantage of the double-event format. Immokalee Regional Raceway is an award-winning 1/8th-mile track in southern Florida.
“We’ve created a schedule with proximity and venue-quality in mind,” said IHRA Director of Competition and Technical Services Mike Baker. “The tracks making up the schedule are either some of the nicest smaller venues in the country, or current IHRA national event tracks, offering competitors good facilities to race.
“For 2007 we are instituting a new points format for the Pro-Am series that will increase the value of the events and in turn the World Championship as well,” added Baker. “Our goal is to continue to provide competitors with flexibility in scheduling and increase the value of the events for our host track operators, competitors and sponsors.”
New venues to the schedule include Ohio’s Mansfield Motorsports Park and South Carolina’s Darlington International Dragway. Darlington’s September 1 – 2 event is one in which competitors can earn points in both the Heat Wave and Raiders divisions. The other multiple-division event is at Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park in West Virginia, June 8 – 10.
“As always, we try to keep travel to a minimum for our Pro-Am competitors,” said Baker. “This accounts for the double-event format, as well as the two multiple-division races, which are held at tracks located near a shared border between divisions.
The schedule appears below.
