On behalf of the entire staff at the IDRC, we would like to thank everyone that helped make the IDRC 2000 Championship Series a success. Thanks to the racers, sponsors, fans and tracks that put IDRC far ahead of its competition. This event set an attendance record for a West Coast import drag race with an attendance of 16,000 filing through the LACR gates over the December 2-3 weekend. Hundreds of records fell as the crowd was on its feet for the best import drag racing to ever hit the West Coast.
We look forward to our expanded season for 2001. We'll see you at our season opener back at LACR on February 17th and 18th. The 2000 Championship Series winners are listed below.
