IHRA Sportsman Tournament of Champions
In 2009, each Nitro Jam national event (and select other events) will become individual tournaments, with the winner of each tournament getting a spot in a select field of racers that will race each other for the world championship at the end of the season. This race, during the World Finals at Rockingham, will crown a national championship as well as the national top 10 in each class.
This format provides incredible value for the racers who financially can only afford to attend the national event closest to them. It also provides opportunity for those that can run more than one event, as each national event becomes a new opportunity to qualify for the world championship race. If you do poorly at one tournament, the slate is wiped clean and you enter the next tournament with a new opportunity to qualify for the world championship.
