Via IHRA's Facebook page:
Alan Reinhart, one of the most familiar names in all of drag racing, has joined the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) as the new Vice President of Racing Operations.
Reinhart is the longtime voice of the sport with decades of experience announcing at the largest national events. He will have an expanded role with IHRA. One of his initial priorities is to work with new IHRA President Rich Schaefer on establishing schedules.
Besides providing commentary at the IHRA Nitro Jam events, Reinhart will be a liaison for the professional teams and work with track operators and other stakeholders. He will also serve in a leadership role where he’s involved with management in setting policies and procedures.
“I’m looking forward to a new challenge,” Reinhart said. “I was with NHRA for a long time, and it was an adventure for 30-plus years going to all the races. The opportunity to take on this new venture at a management level, it was time for a change.”
His experience gained over decades of attending everything from national events to weekend bracket races will be drawn upon in this new role. The years on the road taught him what works and doesn’t work, what makes racers happy, and how to make an event run smoothly.
Fans can reach out to or reconnect with Reinhart through e-mail at [email protected] and ask questions about different race procedures.
