The International Hot Rod Association wants our racers, member tracks and all others affected by the tornadoes that ripped through the South and Midwest to know they’re in our hearts and prayers.

Most of the drag strips throughout the region got by without major damage. The same can’t be said for the neighboring areas with many losing their homes, other property and in the worst cases, the loss of life.

In Kentucky, these are some of the same communities that suffered devastating flooding earlier this year. In Missouri, people are sifting through the wreckage in neighborhoods where tornadoes have damaged hundreds of homes.

Please remember those affected as the IHRA family has always come together to help those in need. You can call American Red Cross Disaster Relief at 1-800-RED-CROSS or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 if you’d like to donate.
