PARTICIPANT GUIDELINES: Eligibility does not begin until a valid membership and SuperSeries registration with the IHRA is obtained. IHRA SuperSeries track points will not count until the racer is registered with both IHRA and the participating track. Failure to have a current registration at any time of the season will result in a deduction in track points for the events the membership was not valid. Racers in all classes are eligible (based on the participating track's discretion). A racer may compete for the IHRA SuperSeries track championship at more than one track and in more than one class. Should a racer qualify at two tracks in the same class, they must claim one track and forfeit eligibility at the other by the time of their tracks IHRA Team Finals. The track that the racer forfeits may send the highest eligible racer from that class. A racer may race in a maximum of two classes, using two different vehicles and represent only one track at the IHRA World Finals. Vehicles may not be shared or used in multiple classes. There will be no double entry for a competitor that wins the IHRA SuperSeries track championship and an IHRA Team Finals event (or wins two Team Finals events).

IHRA track owners/operators/managers may qualify to participate in the World Finals by meeting the track champion eligibility requirements at a track other than the one they own/manage or by having met all eligibility requirements and winning an IHRA Team Finals main event.
