Drag, Sea-Doo Spec

IHRA2026, DD.4. A closed-list class. The craft must stay stock except where the rules allow otherwise, so anything unlisted is not permitted.

Open questions on this class (2)

Places where the rulebook contradicts itself, or where a figure could not be settled. Nothing in this list is decided, and it sits here rather than in a footnote because it is what you would want before spending money.

  • The same DD closed-list problem applies.
  • Porting is permitted here and prohibited in Sea-Doo Pro Stock at DD.2. Lightening is permitted here and prohibited there. The Spec class is the more permissive of the two, which is the reverse of how the same two words rank in the closed-course sections.

Sections this rulebook does not contain for this class

Confirmed absent by a targeted read rather than merely unnoticed. In a closed-list class an absent article is why a part reads as not permitted; in an open class it is why one reads as open.

  • No class criteria of any kind.
  • No cooling article.
  • No ignition timing article.

What the rules say (65 parts)

36 permitted outright, 21 answered by our reading of the class rather than by a quoted rule, 0 the rules do not settle. Grouped by the answer, because an open class gives one answer to most questions and printing it once per part would say the same sentence forty times.

Not permitted, not listed in the rulesOur reading, not a rule we can quote at you. This class requires the craft to stay stock except where the rules allow otherwise, and this part is not on the list.
