Holly Springs Motorsports, a drag strip located in Holly Springs, Mississippi, has signed a multi-year partnership agreement with the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA).

The sanctioning announcement comes just two years after the 1/8-mile drag strip faced massive facility damages due to an F4 tornado in December 2015.

The facility features a laser-leveled, all-concrete surface with eight staging lanes plus concrete walls, guardrails and 1,400-plus feet of uphill shutdown area and a full sand trap.

It also features an AccuTime timing system, numerous speakers, all-asphalt parking, electrical hook-ups, a fuel shack and a concession stand.

Track operator Aileen Davis believes the IHRA Summit SuperSeries program fits in nicely with their philosophy of taking care of the racer.

“All of our racers enjoy that, especially the chance to race at the (IHRA Summit) World Finals,” she said. “Where we’re located, Memphis is just right up the road from us. I just had a truck driver we deal with call me and tell me how he was a track champion up North and how he had come to the World Finals. It’s just a great opportunity for our racers to race against the best from all over the country.”
