HOUSE SPRINGS, MO — There was a ton of enthusiasm when the International Hot Rod Association announced plans to bring back class racing with the IHRA Hot Rod Classic in 2023.
It carried over to a solid debut at Xtreme Raceway Park which it was truly a blast from the past. That enthusiasm shown in the months prior to the opening event hasn’t translated into the racers’ support of the other scheduled events with low entries, leading to today’s tough decision to cancel the rest of the 2024 season.
HARTSVILLE, SC — Persistent rain has forced the cancellation of today’s IHRA Hot Rod Classic at Darlington Dragway.
Darlington Dragway staff and IHRA officials worked hard to get the track ready to race after a big shower came through around 11:30 a.m. Another outburst at 2:30 p.m. and the fact that Sunday’s forecast doesn’t look any better forced the tough decision to cancel the race.
HARTSVILLE, SC — A trio of racers came up with Gamblers wins Friday at the IHRA Hot Rod Classic hosted by the legendary Darlington Dragway.
Jason Bilton in Box, Adam Keir in No Box and Carter Jackson in Junior Dragster all scored memorable victories at the historic track, while Lane Morgan was the golf cart /pit bike winner.
DARLINGTON, S.C. — The excitement is through the roof as legendary Darlington Dragway will be the site for the IHRA Hot Rod Classic on May 2-4.
Big money and awesome prizes like unique black and chrome IHRA Ironman trophies and specially-designed IHRA medals are on the line for racers. It’s crucial for bracket racers to get your entries in early as pre-sale for 64-car, $5,000-to-win Box and No Box Shootouts. Even though it might look like some are available, they fill up fast in the days leading up to the race. There is a waiting list if sold out before you buy.
