I don't think Bucky has raced in the East, especially the South East. I have only seen a real tech once or twice in the last 20 years other than the WFC at Bristol. One they opened the pass door and saw NHRA certified and sent me on the way. This Sat I raced at a track with around 400 entries, no tech at all and Armco guard rails. They claim this track will be WDRA! Saw one car running 4.20 close to 180. Anyway I still see nothing that interests me yet. | |||

This goes on with both associations & at all the big money races I've attended. Yesterday, at our last points race in the 2nd round. My opponent chose to not wear his neck collar & his gloves. Anyway, I won the round.  When I was back East, tech was nonexistent; one or two didn't require a tech card. Pay at the gate & that was it. The worst offenders of the rules quoted above & many more, were at the big money races. I'll leave the name out for now. 1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs. Pump Gas 436 | |||

I hope it makes it and does great. I do not think now is a good time for it and the Economy and future of racing in general is struggling. Still I hope it makes it. We all know NHRA does not care about Racers, Sponsors or Spectators and IHRA has not taken advantage of the opportunity to grow. So maybe this is a good thing. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion | |||

My issue is the vague statements they make during interviews about what exactly they intend on doing. You can say all you want that they have said what they intend to do, but 90% of the people I have talked to disagree. You don't start a business of this level without having a 3 or 5 year plan. "We intend on making it the best organization for bracket racers" doesn't answer the question everyone is asking.....HOW? | |||

Lots of questions, time will provide answers. Though it would be nice to have answers, is not required this early on. My home track is on list, I have been running there since 2003. If they find it atractive to change, I trust them. Is great to have option of new startup in current economy. Wish all 3 sanctionong bodies success. Then again I race for fun and do not care to much about details as long as track surface works with my car and I know rules going in. | |||

They seem to be providing similar programs plug contingency. What more do you need to know right now? The tracks seem to think it is a healthy move for them. Keeping our tracks healthy seems paramount from my seat in the bleachers. I’m not sure I am owed and explanation from track management justifying their decision. Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||

As opposed to the super-specific new IHRA? LOL I've actually worked with them recently, er... both of them, well, one of them is gone now I've heard. Without the track operators, the Team Finals would've been a complete disaster. Buying a name doesn't equate to having a "plan". The best thing they've got is Paige Hamlin. If they were smart, they'd put her in charge of the whole thing. I don't know what you people think a sanctioning body actually does. They administer Bracket Finals, a World Championship runoff, and maybe a couple of special events with their name on it. This isn't rocket surgery. __ Michael Beard - staginglight@gmail.com Staging Light Graphic Design, Printing & Event Marketing | |||

I see that many operators/owners of some good tracks have signed up. I'd say they didn't sign on just for the insurance. As a racer you get to choose the track you race at and possibly join whatever sanctioning body that track belongs to if you want to participate in the program. You can still race anywhere so it really makes no difference to many. Rule enforcement and safety are controlled on a track level. You pays your money and you takes your chances. The big races of the year the most popular sanctioning body puts on is "teched" by racers filling out their own tech cards and doing their own tech. I've traveled some in my area around TN,GA,NC,SC and VA. Only place I've ever had anyone physically look at my car was Bristol. | |||

I don't really get what everyone is so worried about.... if the track hosts a safe, fair, well run, decent paying race and they honor your license then who cares if its sanctioned by IHRA, NHRA, WDRA or the Girl Scouts of America? Billy Duhs - BD104X@gmail.com | |||

Bingo, as long as the girl scouts don't have pink hair, ghetto tats, nose rings and pentagram necklaces. | |||

Copied from facebook WDRA AMERICAN RACE CARS OFFERS WDRA RACERS A FREE $5K RACE Springfield, IL – American Race Cars has joined the list of companies supporting the World Drag Racing Alliance (WDRA) Sportsman Drag Racing Series and their quarter-million-dollar bracket racing program in 2023. The WDRA will conclude the season with the Sportsman Drag Racing Series (SDRS) World Championships in October of 2023. The invitation only, free race entry event will feature WDRA track champions and Bracket Finals Champions in head-to-head competition for their share of the $200,000 main event cash points fund. American Race Cars has made that weekend even better as they have joined the alliance of businesses supporting bracket racers by providing a no entry fee, $5,000 to win race for the qualified Box racers who are invited to World Championship event. “American Race Cars provides world class race cars to some of the best bracket racers in the country and to have them step up this early to support the Sportsman Drag Racing Series is incredible” said WDRA founder Don Scott. “Box racers now have two free entry races to enjoy during the SDRS World Championships which is an awesome value,” said Scott. As a part of the program, American Race Cars will also have a presence at all WDRA Bracket Finals events as well as being a part of the live stream coverage of the SDRS World Championships. “Many of our customers get a lot of national attention on the big money bracket racing scene, but the majority of our customers are fighting it out at their local track for track championships,” said American Race Car owner Travis Colangelo. “We wanted to recognize and support those men and women who support their local bracket racing programs week in and week out. We can’t wait to add some fun and excitement to the WDRA World Championships by putting on this free race.” More updates and information on the WDRA Sportsman Drag Racing Series will be released in the coming weeks and posted on www.racewdra.com and on the WDRA facebook page. About WDRA: The mission of the WDRA is to provide value as a sanctioning body to racers and facilities through process modernization, unparalleled service and value driven partnerships. About American Race Cars: Since its inception in late 2004, American Race Cars has quickly become one of the premier chassis builders in sportsman racing.
