IHRA AUSTRALIA | REAL STREET CHAMPIONSHIP UPDATE
IHRA Australia is proud to acknowledge the incredible growth and competitiveness of the REAL STREET category throughout the 2025–2026 Championship season. A total of 41 competitors took to the track this season, delivering some of the closest and most hard fought racing the class has ever seen.
With points capped at 300 heading into the 58th Winternationals, the Championship fight has never been tighter:
• David Sheehy – 300 pts
• Tony Rogers – 300 pts
• Dean Merchant – 277.5 pts
Two drivers enter the season finale on maximum points, with a third close enough to strike. It all comes down to the Winternationals — the ultimate pressure test to decide who has the nerve, consistency, and composure to claim the REAL STREET Championship.
IHRA Australia extends a sincere thank you to all 41 competitors who took part in this season’s series, and to every IHRA Member Track whose support and commitment continue to elevate this category.
Best of luck to all competitors taking on the season finals at the Winternationals. The stage is set — now it’s time to finish the fight.
