Aftermarket CDI ignition (2-stroke)

IHRA answers this part for 14 of its classes. 5 of those answers are permissions, with or without limits attached, and 9 are not. 9 are inferred from how the class is written rather than quoted from a rule naming this part.

This is one body's answer, not the sport's. You are bound by whichever body sanctions the event you enter, and where both govern you, you are held to the stricter of the two. The differences are set out in the rulebook comparison.

Where it stands, class by class

14 classes, grouped by the answer rather than listed one by one, because an answer that holds for a class usually holds for every class that borrows its rules.
