SYDNEY DRAGWAY
SANCTIONING DISPUTE |
|
|
|
19th November 2021 |
|
|
|
IHRA Entertainment LLC
and IHRA Australia Pty
Ltd (IHRA)
appeared in the Supreme
Court of New South Wales
today for a hearing of
its interlocutory
injunction application
against Western Sydney
International Dragway
Limited (WSID). |
|
|
|
At today's hearing after
hearing from the
Plaintiffs' Counsel Mr
Paul Hayes QC, the
presiding judge Justice
Ball expedited the case
and set down the matter
down for trial to
commence 1 February
2022. Accordingly,
because the Court
expedited the
proceedings, IHRA today
saw fit not to press its
application for
temporary relief, given
that its case which
seeks final permanent
relief against WSID will
now be heard early at
the expedited trial. |
|
|
|
In the meantime, the 400
Thunder event scheduled
to take place at Sydney
Dragway on 4 and 5
February 2022 will
proceed as scheduled and
will be IHRA sanctioned. |
|
IHRA remains committed
to providing
contemporary sanctioning
of drag racing across
Australia and working
with its members,
partner venues and key
stakeholders to deliver
growth and opportunity
to the sport. |
|
|
|
As the matter is till
before the Court, IHRA
will be making no
further comment. |

IHRA Australia Pro
Slammer Body Approvals |
|
|
 |
|
IHRA 9th November 2021 |
|
In an exciting
announcement today, IHRA
Australia would like to
announce that we have
approved the use of late
model bodies in Pro
Slammer. |
|
CEO Maurice Allen
believes that due to the
lack of Australian
products currently
available, this is the
perfect opportunity to
introduce these two
iconic body
styles. |
|
Both the Chevrolet
Camaro and the Ford
Mustang body styles made
by Five-Star have been
approved by IHRA
Australia Technical
Director Tim Nielsen. |
|
We are excited to be
working with
Five-Star Bodies and
thank them for welcoming
our sanctioning body
into their ongoing body
work program. |
|
Further to this exciting
announcement, further
inclusions into this
late model body
programme will also be
considered and, as we to
press, IHRA
Australia is awaiting on
an application for a
Dodge Challenger body
style. |
|
As per the announcement
from the AC Delco Racing
Team yesterday, this
further adds to the
excitement in the 400
Thunder Pro Slammer
category, with the
inclusion of Mustangs
and Dodges being thrown
into the mix in this
hard-charging
eliminator. |
|
The CEO of IHRA
Australia sees this move
as being pro-active in
shifting the goal posts
and providing our valued
spectators the
opportunity to keep up
with the latest trends
and have access to the
same product off
showroom floors. |
|
We look forward to
seeing these new body
styles on the track from
January 1, 2022 |

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |
|
|
|
IHRA AND WESTERN SYDNEY INTERNATIONAL DRAGWAY
(SYDNEY DRAGWAY) |
|
|
|
IHRA Entertainment
LLC and IHRA Australia Pty Ltd (IHRA)
today have initiated legal proceedings against
Western Sydney International Dragway Ltd (Sydney
Dragway) in the New South Wales Supreme
Court. This action is in response to Sydney
Dragway’s unilateral and unlawful termination of
its contract with IHRA on 29 September 2021, for
IHRA to be the official and exclusive
sanctioning body for all races taking place at
Sydney Dragway up until 31 December 2023. |
|
|
|
IHRA is seeking an
interlocutory injunction to prevent Sydney
Dragway from proceeding with the purported
contract Sydney Dragway says it now has with the
Australian Drag Racing Association Ltd (ANDRA)
in lieu of IHRA, until the matter is determined
by the court. |
|
|
|
IHRA has also
notified ANDRA of the legal proceedings it has
commenced today against Sydney Dragway. |
|
|
|
Sydney Dragway has
been on written notice from IHRA since July 2021
that if it wrongfully repudiated or terminated
its contract with IHRA, IHRA would be left with
no option other than to commence legal
proceedings to protect its contractual rights
and entitlements. |
|
|
|
As the matter is now
before the New South Wales Supreme Court, IHRA
will not be making any further comment about
this matter until the legal process is
concluded. |

FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE |
|
|
|
SYDNEY DRAGWAY |
|
|
IHRA Australia is
extremely disappointed to have yesterday
received advice that the board of Sydney Dragway
have decided to terminate its binding and
exclusive contract with IHRA Australia, and its
parent company, as the official and exclusive
representative and sanctioning body for all
races, events or promotions conducted by Sydney
Dragway.
IHRA Australia has
instructed its lawyers to immediately commence
legal proceedings against Sydney Dragway for its
wrongful termination of the contract, which
still had a further 2 years to run. |
|
|
|
It is regrettable
such circumstances have arisen, particularly
having regard for IHRA’s popular and successful
sanctioning of events conducted at Sydney
Dragway for the past five years. |
|
|
|
As this matter will
soon be before the courts IHRA will be making no
further comment about these matters until the
legal proceedings are resolved or determined. |
