Their decision is final.ĬR-3 Do not stage until the main scoreboard indicates your correct dial-in.

Exceptions may be made at the sole discretion of the Race Director, based on circumstances.

See the current IHRA rulebook and direct any questions to Management and/or the Race Director. CIR track and class rules compliment these, and in some cases, supersede. GR-1 IHRA rules are the basic and minimum standard for safety and competition. Please direct questions or comments to the appropriate track personnel. It is the goal of Cordova International Raceway to be consistent and fair to all competitors. (in addition to general rules in the IHRA Rulebook)
