In a major and exciting announcement American
Muscle Cars, European Sports Cars Japanese
Imports, Electric Hybrids will all feature in a
radical new bracket known as
REAL
STREET.
This announcement heralds a new dawn in the
future for Drag Racing and has just widened the
front door to the sport dramatically.
IHRA Australia CEO Maurice Allen is extremely
excited about the inception of these two new
classes. Our goal here was to look at ways of
help growing the membership and introducing new
first time competitors for the sustainability of
all IHRA Australia Member Tracks, based on
current motor vehicles sales in Australia.
This exciting announcement sees the introduction
of A/RST and B/RST representing a 9.00 and a
9.50 bottom ET cut off respectively.
As part of this major announcement competitors
will now be able to run at all three levels of
the sport, from Off Street Events, State
Championship rounds and then onto the major
400
Thunder National Drag Racing Series and
potentially earning a 400 Thunder Gold Christmas
Tree.
Further details of the bracket as follows:
1.
A/RST 2013 and later (compliance) street
registered vehicles competing 9.00 sec to 13.99
sec ET/165 MPH.
2.
B/RST 2003 to 2012 (compliance) street
registered vehicles competing 9.50 sec to 13.99
sec ET/150 MPH.
Strictly DOT tyres, No Trans Brakes, No Delay
Boxes.
Operating under the Dial Your Own Handicap
System.
IHRA Australia National Technical Director Tim
Nielsen stated these are exciting times,
introducing this class will boost the
progression of the sport, securing longevity and
a clear path moving the sport forward into the
future.
The safety and technology in late model sports
cars and muscle cars coming into this country is
beyond reproach.
Conversations between track promotors, chassis
builders and Engine tuners have helped make this
new class come to fruition.
These new and exciting class rules have been
uploaded into the IHRA Australia Supplementary
App, which is available to download on the Apple
and Android platforms for FREE.
