IHRA Drag Racing is a racing game that features 10 of the 11 tracks from the 2001 IHRA Summit Drag Racing Series and includes the cars of 20 professional racers, though players compete against fictional drivers rather than the real-life racers. The game incorporates weather dynamics. Players can modify their car's appearance using external paint programs. Force feedback support is absent, and replays are restricted to a small viewing window rather than full-screen mode. A post-launch patch introduced over 20 fixes, including engine damage and online multiplayer via GameSpy.

Reception
Stephen Poole of GameSpot reviewed IHRA Drag Racing for Microsoft Windows and rated it a 5.3 of 10 stating "If you devote a lot of time and patience to the game, there's certainly some fun to be had in IHRA Drag Racing. Unfortunately, because of all the game's problems, it seems likely that not many players will stick with it long enough to enjoy it."
