2009 IHRA Rulebook

IHRA has shown again why they are held in much higher regard by their sportsman membership than that N"otHeR"A sanctioning body.

Last year, the IHRA rulebook was sent out on a computer disc. Members complained, and lo-and-behold... the 2009 edition is back to a traditional print copy (which showed up with this week's issue of Drag Review Magazine).

As an added bonus, Dragway 42 has a story on the front page of their track website today that includes a link to an ONLINE EDITION of the 2009 IHRA rulebook.

I think that is really cool!

Huh? NHRA sends out a copy every year.

Last year IHRA sent their rulebook out on a computer disc (no print edition). The membership complained and IHRA changed back for 2009.

Would NHRA have switched back just because paying members complained?

I remember when IHRA sent the disk instead of the book. At first I didn't like it. But it does make it easy to look up and quote rules to the people that ask on the internet. Saved a lot of typing and saying, "get the book and read it". But... at the track, the disk does no good. Human eye balls can't read a disk.

Sending the book for the members at the track, and putting the rules electronically available is the best of both worlds.

They have the rule book online also.
