Hey guys, I just saw this flyer on another forum and was wondering if anyone was going to make it out to this? It seems like a fun event and I’ve never been to an IDRC event before, but have heard a lot of great things. I’d love to be able to meet some fellow forum members and maybe some of you on the drag strip.

Here’s the flyer:

 

ive been there a long time ago. the track is top notch and there were quite a few really fast cars last time i was there.

 

i remember that gtr in a dsport mag a few months ago, they said they were trying to run 8's or bust by this season, wonder if they achieved.

 

Where's the race classes and rules

 

http://www.importdrag.com/rulebook.html

link to their rulebook. i didnt look but it should ahve the breakdowns of the classes in it

 

I will be there with the Spec Clutch booth.

 

Omg danny can I hug you when I see you there?!?

 

Ah....

 

those rules were from 06'? Are they still using all of those rules. Do we still have to have the membership to run in idrc like before?

 

i do not know any positave answers. but i have nothing going on tomorrow and i will find a number to call them and see is they have a break down on the classes for us all.

 

found the class rules from another forum

RACE CAR CLASSES:

IDRC TRUE STREET CLASS
True Street Turbo RWD/AWD Class
Looking for “real” street performance? Check out the IDRC True Street Class.
With all cars running on D.O.T. radial tires, through the mufflers and in “street legal”
trim, the IDRC gives the local “Kings of the Street” a chance to become national heroes.
All vehicles in this class maintain the factory chassis construction. A minimum
class qualifying time of 13.99 must be met to make the qualifying field.
For fair and entertaining competition, the True Street class (along with all IDRC
heads-up classes) runs a .400 Pro-Tree. Cars pair up according to a “Sportsman ladder”
for eliminations. The competitor with the quickest elapsed time from the previous round
will have lane choice for the following round. All events are run in single-elimination
fashion. Red-light false starts will result in automatic disqualification as does crossing the
centerline.
Fields will be made up of the eight quickest competitors from the qualifying
rounds. No make-up runs will be permitted for racers that miss their qualifying round. If
a qualifier elects not to compete or is unable to make the last call to the staging lanes, the
next available alternate will be selected until a full field of eight is present, whenever
time permits.

Class Specifications
Eligibility
All vehicles must pay racer entry fee. All True Street Class drivers must be
IDRC members. Those electing to race without membership will have a full-price $45
membership fee deducted from their winnings per event. The racer on the tech card for
the vehicle must also be the driver. Additional drivers will pay full race entry fee and
must notify officials that there will be two drivers. The driver that qualifies vehicle must
also be the driver in elimination rounds. All True Street class vehicles must pass the
safety tech inspection issued by the track. Most tracks follow NHRA or IHRA safety
regulations. The safety inspection is separate from the IDRC classification. The
classification will precede or follow the tech inspection. Vehicles will only be eligible
after passing safety inspection and being classified as eligible True Street class vehicles.
It is the driver’s responsibility to make sure vehicle meets weight requirements. Vehicles
will be weighed after each qualifying and elimination round.
Registration
All True Street class cars must be currently DOT registered, have valid insurance
or possess an IDRC “True Street Class Certified” decal. Decals will only be issued to
vehicles passing an official IDRC inspection and certification (cost $100). This policy
was adopted since many states have differing smog inspections and device requirements.
The IDRC “True Street Class Certified” inspection will check the operation of
headlights, signals, driver and front passenger windows. If the vehicle is operational in
these categories and is legal for classification with other class requirements, a decal will
be issued after inspection. This decal is valid for a period of two years from the date of
issue.
Engine
Only one internal-combustion gasoline engine permitted in vehicle. All watercooled
engine blocks must be production based with a production run exceeding 500
units. Cast aftermarket cylinder heads are permitted for all vehicles. If a water-cooled
engine’s cooling system is utilized, these engines are required to run only water. No antifreeze
is permitted. Engine manufacturer must match vehicle chassis manufacturer.
Brother-company substitutions are allowed, such as Lexus/Toyota, Nissan/Infiniti,
Honda/Acura. Domestic manufactured engines (Ford, GM, Chrysler) are limited to fourcylinders
and OHC six cylinders. Engine must be located and configured in OEM
location. Setting engine forward or back is allowable when and only when modified
engine mounts attach to factory mounts on the frame or cross-member assembly.
Changing engine from transverse configuration (East-to-West) to conventional (North-to-
South) is not allowed. Engine type (# of cylinders) and the number of power adders will
establish minimum weight breaks along with drive configuration (FWD, RWD, AWD).
Engine Maximum Displacements
Engines are not to exceed the following displacements based on the engine’s
number of cylinders:
4 cylinders less than 2850cc
5 cylinders less than 3563cc
6 cylinders less than 4275cc
8 cylinders less than 5700cc
Racers wishing to challenge the displacement of another competitor’s engine will
post a $250 protest fee. The IDRC will conduct a P&G test to determine the displacement
of the engine. If the engine exceeds the maximum displacement allowed, the racer will be
barred from competition at that event and all event points will be forfeited. The protest
fee will then be returned to the racer filing the protest. If the racer’s engine is of a legal
displacement, the protest fee will be kept by the IDRC.
Oil Downs & Coolant
Racers must always pull over to the wall immediately when breakage occurs.
Failure to do so often results in oil, water or coolant being left on the racing surface. This
results in many minutes of down time.
Power Adders
Engines may be equipped with up to two power adders. Power adders include
nitrous-oxide-injection systems, turbocharger systems and supercharger systems.
Redundant power adders such as twin-turbochargers or multi-stage nitrous-oxide systems
count as a single power adder. Thus, a twin-turbo engine using a three-stage nitrous
system would still count as only two power adders.
Intercooler must be air to air only. Intercoolers, cool cans for fuel systems and
compressed nitrogen gas systems used to cool the intercooler are not counted as power
adders. Any compressed gas used on the vehicle is subject to inspection. If the
compressed gas is found to be an oxidizer (like nitrous oxide), it will be counted as a
power adder and appropriate weight requirements will apply.
Exhaust
All True Street class vehicles must run an exhaust system that exits behind the
rear wheels.
Fuel
Fuel cells prohibited. All vehicles must run on gasoline. Pump and racing
gasoline are acceptable. Gasoline may not have nitro-methane, propylene oxide or nitropropane
added. All fuels are subject to testing by IDRC officials. For 2002, the IDRC
may institute “spec” fuels (one leaded and one unleaded for the Street Class). A decision
or ruling on this can be found at www.importdrag.com or by calling the IDRC office. If a
spec fuel is established it will be required for competition as long as the fuel is available
at the track. The spec fuel’s manufacturer or the IDRC staff will perform fuel checks on
the competitors.
Interior
Mandatory for vehicles to have dash board, 2 front seats and door panels.
Transmissions-RWD/AWD
Transmission must match manufacture of engine. Standard transmission must
retain factory H-pattern. All non-OEM transmissions are prohibited.
Chassis-All Basic
All True Street Class vehicles must use an import chassis with functional doors,
barring the following exceptions: Exceptions will be made for domestic-labeled, jointmanufactured
vehicles that have a USA-available, import counterpart. Examples include
but are not limited to: Chrysler Conquest, Dodge Colt, Dodge Stealth, Eagle Talon, Ford
Probe; Mercury Capri XR2, and Plymouth Laser. Additionally, any front-wheel-drive
vehicle from any manufacturer (including Domestics---Chevy, Chrysler, Ford) is legal
for competition.
All Street class vehicles must retain factory chassis. Vehicles originally built with
a front-wheel drive configuration must maintain front-wheel-drive configuration. Chop
tops are permitted.
Glass
All Street Class vehicles must maintain the factory glass.
Suspension & Chassis-RWD/AWD
REAR
Retention of the OEM rear-end assembly is mandatory. Back-half conversions
and tube chassis configurations are not permitted. Full wheel tubs are not permitted.
Solid-axle rear conversions are permitted. Strut tower braces, lower tie bars, sway bars
and limit straps are permitted. Rear suspension must maintain a minimum of one inch of
travel. All rear suspensions must use at least one hydraulic shock per wheel.
FRONT
The entire reinforced portion of the factory front shock tower member (this would
include the entire portion that is welded to the uni-body frame) must be retained. Roll bar
may attach and strengthen the shock-tower member. Upper mounting point for strut
assemblies must be in factory location. Top of strut assembly must mount to top of
strut/shock tower, as did the factory unit. Adjustable caster/camber pillow-ball mounts
are acceptable. Lower control arms may be strengthened and altered providing that
factory mounting at frame is not changed in location. Lower mounting point for strut may
be modified for improved caster or camber. Strut tower braces, lower tie bars, sway bars
and limit straps are permitted.
Professionalism
All vehicles in True Street Class competition are required to have paint and an
outward appearance that is at least of OEM quality. No bodywork, primer or unpainted
body kits will be permitted. Failure to adhere to this ruling will result in a warning at the
first event. This vehicle will be barred from future competitions until the appearance of
the vehicle meets the requirements.
All vehicles are required to have die-cut issued competition numbers in the
correct location as indicated by the individual event’s racer information packet. The use
of shoe polish or liquid chalk is restricted to the IDRC officials for classification.
All crew members are required to be in uniform is accompanying the competition
vehicle to the burnout and staging areas. Uniforms can be as simple as matched T-shirts
and jeans. Consistency and cleanliness is the objective.
Tires
All True Street class vehicles must use D.O.T. radial tires. Skinnies are
prohibited. Metric-specified tires may not exceed a section designation of 315. All other
tires must measure less than 10.5-inches in tread width, not in section width. Maximum
tire height is 28 inches. No slicks allowed.
Wheelie Bars
No wheelie bars allowed.
Performance
A minimum class qualifying time of 13.99 must be met to make the qualifying
field.

Those are the rules off Buschurs site. Last time I heard from them they said in the RFS class there would be no qual rounds like 2009 which sucked. I took home 1st place in 08' and 2nd in 09' in RFS but hated that there was no qual for some reason last year. It was whoever you lined up against you ran. The srt4 that won still would've won but qual is always nice especially in these kinds of races.

 

Yea It was kinda ****ed up. I raced the 10.0 neon and went 10.3 first round and lost. I do plan on going this year. But not with my car. My girl friend is going to be racing her street integra learning how to drive...

 

Thats a bummer that last year had no qualifying. But that wont be the case this year.

 

i spoke to an IDRC employee and they informed me that there would be qualifying rounds. They informed me that last year at Buschur's events for some reason they did not have qualifying rounds, but now that IDRC is partnered with Buschur they wanted to make sure that there will be qualifying rounds for all of the classes.

 

Good to hear. Last year was very unorganized but yes now that IDRC has taken teamed up I'm sure it will be better. Are there any updated rules for the front wheel drive (RFS) class or are the classes completely different from the original Buschur events?

 

If all goes well I am goin to try to go.

 

Is there a payout this year?

 

There are some "Buschur" classes and some "IDRC" classes.. its like a merger of the two.

Yes, each class has some sort of payout. But it will vary from class to class. Some may be prizes, some may be cash, some may just be raffles so you dont have to win, to win.

And then of course trophies, and the glory of winning.

 

You said your not bringing your car is it not together yet? Mine isn't I'm trying to scramble to get everything together so we can get it tuned but i don't want to just throw it together for this one race.

 

I feel the same way. I mean Joe tuned it and all but I have a lot more left to do before I feel like it is really ready to race.

 

my turbo kit isn't finished yet,new motor isn't in yet, cage isn't all the way done yet and still have to paint the cage and engine bay before everything goes back together. Oh and then tuning lol. This weekend and all next week I'm practically going to have to live in the garage to get it ready.

 

you'd better get to work and quit posting then!

 

I dident see this post i msgd you today!


I am ready to go. I think the only thing I have is a batt tie down. There is a local race here on friday. So we will see how that goes.

I usually dont have to scramble my car usually seems to go together without issues. there have been over 20 motors in my car shes pretty much a ****.

This being said I plan on bringing my car. And my girl friends car(if it gets finished).
Last year when I left I thought the race was bullshit and unorganized. If you dident have an evo then it dident matter.

 

i know right waiting on parts like usual. PPG gearset won't even be here until tuesday or wednesday...next week. We are working hard to make it even if I have to keep the boost down and run on stock trans again
