Summary
IHRA 2005 takes this best-selling series to a new level with its outstanding graphics, realistic physics, presentation, and, most importantly, intense racing action. If you're looking for instant action, try the arcade mode, where you can chose from single event, elimination, or two-player split-screen racing. For more in-depth play, simulation mode allows you to experience the excitement and challenge of leading a top racing team through the professional competitive season, earning money, and improving your car while competing in the 12-event national IHRA Professional Drag Racing championship. An all-new interface makes customizing and upgrading your car in the Parts Shop and Garage simple and straightforward. In addition, the new paint shop feature will allow you to customize the look of your car, including multiple paint layers and sponsor and manufacturer decals. All races feature broadcast style race presentation with TV Style camera fly bys and color commentary to fully immerse the user in the on-track and trackside environment. A first person in-car view brings the experience to life with rumbling sound, camera shake, and DualShock rumble support. For newcomers and drag racing veterans, IHRA 2005 is drag racing action like never before. [Bethesda Softworks]

Attitude is exactly what this game lacks, along with a little bit of soul.

The load times are ridiculous. I have not seen a more frustrating design. It loads when you access a menu. It even loads after you pause it. There is no other reason for this other than sloppy design.
Xbox Nation Magazine
Like its real-life counterpart, the events here are over almost as soon as they begin, which, in essence, doesn't make for very compelling nore satisfying action. [Feb 2005, p.90]

This game is SO bad I don't know why you're even bothering to read this review. I paid $5 for it brand new and I still got ripped off.
