In an effort to give proper recognition to the local grassroots IHRA racers, IHRA offers the sportsman program called the” DRM Ironman Classic.”  Before, a sportsman racer could only win an Ironman if they traveled to a divisional or national event.  Now weekly racers have an opportunity to receive the most sought after prize in IHRA Drag Racing - the “Ironman.”  The purpose of this Ironman Classic race is simple; the local track can create some excitement in their bracket program and offer sportsman competitors a chance to win an IHRA Ironman.
