Sportsman Performance Classes move to
National Record System |
|
As part of their commitment to keep
Australian Drag Racing competitive,
relevant and fair, 400 Thunder and IHRA
Australia have approved an overhaul to
the 400 Thunder Sportsman Series
Performance Classes. |
|
As part of the changes brought forward
by Sportsman racers, through the
Sportsman Commissions in both NSW & QLD,
it sees the change to a National Records
system in an effort to make racing
easier to enjoy and more exciting for
both competitors and spectators alike. |
|
The updades will include: |
|
- Removal of
the current Index system, to be
replaced with National Records-based
system.
-
Qualification and subsequent
handicapping against the IHRA
National Records for their
respective class.
- National
Records WILL NOT be adjusted during
events.
- Records can
only be reset with two passes in
eliminations or competition. Records
cannot be set in Qualifying.
- Racing will
run to a Professional Series Ladder
Format.
|
To complement
the propesed changes, it has been
recommended that a Records Review
Committee be established. The
Committee's primary function will be to
monitor, and adjust as necessary, Class
Records to ensure fair racing amongst
competitors. |
|
These changes
affect the 400 Thunder National
Championship Series for Super Stock,
Competition and Competition Bike, and
will take effect in time for the
2017/2018 Season commencing at
Springmount Raceway on 7th October,2017 |
