Albuquerque Dragway brings the IHRA Ironman Classic to the great Southwest on Saturday, August 10. New Mexico’s premier drag strip features a great history and unique challenges with its mile-high elevation and density altitude. 

Another great member track, Amarillo Dragway in Texas, will be the site of the IHRA Ironman Classic on August 17. It’s another track with a rich history, site of the IHRA World Finals from 1975-77 where the winners included 17-time world champion “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, IHRA Hall of Famer Rickie Smith, Bob Glidden and Raymond Beadle.

The historic Muncie Dragway will also have an IHRA Ironman Classic race on August 17. First opened on Easter Sunday 1960, the track is constantly doing upgrades to keep it one of the finest dragways in the Midwest.

Ethridge Motorsports Park has an IHRA Ironman Classic the following Saturday on August 24. It’s a continuation of great racing at the Tennessee drag strip, which is scheduled to run the final rounds of IHRA Sportsman Spectacular presented by Moser on August 10.

Great Lakes Dragaway, the oldest continually operating drag strip in the country, will have its IHRA Ironman Classic on Sunday, August 25. The entire racing surface was paved at this most historic facility in 2022. It’s created a smooth surface which is the envy of my newer tracks.
