IHRA Expands Global Footprint with Addition of São Paulo International Dragway in Brazil
FAIRFIELD, OH — The International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) continues its global expansion with the addition of São Paulo International Dragway (SPID) as an official IHRA member track, marking a significant step in strengthening the organization’s international presence in South America.
Owned and operated by Pro Mod racer Sidnei Frigo, SPID has established itself as one of the premier drag racing facilities in South America. This partnership reflects a shared vision to grow and elevate drag racing on a global scale.
“While we continue to build momentum across the United States, it’s equally important that we invest in the ‘International’ side of IHRA,” said IHRA Owner Darryl Cuttell. “The addition of Brazil strengthens our global footprint alongside our member tracks in the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Sidnei and his team have developed a first-class facility, and we’re proud to welcome São Paulo International Dragway to IHRA.”
“We’re excited to become an IHRA member race track,” said Frigo. “My team and I have invested significant time, resources, and passion into building SPID into a premier destination for drag racing in South America. After seeing the vision and direction Darryl has for IHRA, we knew this was something we wanted to be part of. We’re proud to join the IHRA family.”
The addition of SPID further supports our long-term vision of building a unified global network of tracks, racers, and events, while creating new opportunities for international competition and collaboration.
