there is a new drag racing circuit on the east coast. its called IMSTARRACING. it will consist of mostly street classes and one "outlaw" class. there will be 5 races in 2002. 2 at atco(philly) and 3 at mir(maryland). payouts will be 1000 to the winner and there will be 16 car fields. there will also be a points system carrying over at each race. whoever has the most points at the end of the season in each class will win more money. in 2003, there will be 8 races possibly extending to either vir(virginia) or rockingham(north carolina). this will be a great opportunity for the "street" racer and the guys who aren't sponsored.

there will be records kept in each classes and rules similiar to the old nira rules. check out http://www.imstarracing.com/ for more info. the site will be updated regularly.

with the nira street events being bought out by nhra, we still don't know if they will cater to us "street cars". idrc already has no real street classes. battle and imstarracing are the only ones so far to cater to us. we'll see soon enough with the nhra.
