US 13 Dragway Renews Commitment To IHRA

US 13 Dragway in Delmar, Delaware, has renewed a sanctioning agreement with the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA).

The facility features a 1/4-mile drag strip and was first opened in 1963. Longtime track owner Charlie Cathell was an early proponent of bracket racing and his track boasts a strong IHRA Summit SuperSeries program.

New for 2020 is the IHRA and SBRA Ultimate Points Series, which allows racers to compete for bigger purses during a two-day event hosted once a month. In addition, there are multiple events for Grudge and N/T Shootout racers.

“It’s fitting that one of the people involved in the beginning of bracket racing and the team finals format feels at home in the IHRA, where sportsman racing is at the forefront,” IHRA Division Director Jon O’Neal said. “We’re proud to have the Cathell and US 13 family as part of our own.”

For 2019, IHRA Summit SuperSeries champions included Alex Bradford (Top), Keven Yates (Mod) and Nicholas Bowie (Junior).

The multi-purpose racing facility also features a 1/2-mile dirt clay oval where Super Late Models, big block modifieds and more compete.
