DHRA news!

[DHRA]

The folks at DHRA have been working tirelessly on getting the 2005 season ready. We are about to announce our new series sponsor, yes, we have a MAJOR sponsor this year for both the Drag Racing Series and Sled Pulling Series.
Drag Racing Series- Divisions are out, member tracks are in!
The drag racing point's series will be different for 2005. Instead of traveling in a geographic area to earn points, racers will now be able to go to one track for all of their points. Sometimes 8 to 10 hour trips were required for a racer to attend a points race. Now that has been eliminated to make way for more participation. The tracks will be in charge of keeping points, setting race dates, and running the races. The tracks will be required to hold no less than 5 races during the season. This will be ET Bracket racing only. DHRA membership will not be required, but the track champions that are DHRA members will enjoy extra purse money, and a chance to compete for the national title. For more information regarding the new drag racing series format, or if you want us to send your local track a member track proposal; email Andy Sebek at dr_ops@dhraonline.com
Tracks that are already on board:
Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, WI
US 131 Motorsports Park in Martin, MI
