The NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season will feature two parts to the season: a 16-race regular season and a six-race playoff known as the NHRA Camping World Countdown to the Championship.

Following the U.S. Nationals, the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series points will be reset before heading to the championship playoffs. The NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series Countdown to the Championship begins in mid-September at the Pep Boys NHRA Nationals in Reading, Pa. and ends in mid-November at the Auto Club NHRA Finals.

CAMPING WORLD PARTNERSHIP WITH NHRACamping World, the nation’s largest retailer of recreational vehicles (RVs), RV accessories, and RV-related services, and NHRA celebrate a partnership that brings the world’s largest and fastest motorsport to race fans across as the country as the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series.

The partnership began during the 2020 season as both parties committed to a multi-year sponsorship agreement and will be in full swing as the NHRA will return to two venues for the first time since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Richmond and Seattle. The sponsorship is an ideal fit for both organizations. For more than five decades, Camping World has proudly offered specialized products and accessories, expert advice and professional service to RV owners and campers. NHRA’s drivers, teams and fanbase are deeply-rooted in RVs, camping, towing and outdoor living.

The two parties will be involved in many exciting initiatives during the 2022 season and beyond, highlighting Camping World’s association with the world’s fastest motorsport.

Throughout the life of the sponsorship, the NHRA is expected to deliver growth and fan retention for Camping World. Camping World, which has more than 160 locations nationwide and has a strong history in

motorsports, will also have a significant presence at NHRA national events and on NHRA’s television coverage with the FOX broadcast network and Fox Sports 1 (FS1).

Together, the partnership allows fans to feel the power of two 11,000-horsepower, nitromethane- burning engines as they thunder down a drag strip side-by-side, accelerating from zero to more than 330 mph in less than four seconds. The earth-shaking, body-pumping rush that the nitro-breathing monsters produce is unlike anything else on the planet.

That is real-power, and it is the power of NHRA Camping World Drag Racing, and it’s also what makes the quickest and loudest form of motorsports also the most exciting.

N H R A

Power is one of the key ingredients to success in NHRA Camping World Drag Racing, but it isn’t the only one. Reaction and technology are equally important in this adrenaline-pumping sport.

Technology is what transforms the parts and pieces of nitro-burning engines into high-powered race cars on the starting line. A driver’s reaction is what gets the vehicle out of the gate first, while the power is what it takes to get the win light at the top end. Add desire and consistency, and you have all of the ingredients to create an NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series world champion.

The four categories (Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro Stock Motorcycle) in the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series will be full of standout competitors in 2021, and they will battle all season long to qualify for the NHRA Camping World Racing Series Countdown to the Championship playoffs in hopes of winning NHRA world championship titles.

Since it was founded by Wally Parks in 1951, NHRA has been dedicated to safety while providing millions of racing fans with the fastest and most spectacular form of entertainment on wheels. Parks initially started NHRA as a means of getting hot-rodders off the streets and onto legal drag strips. Since those early days, NHRA has evolved into the largest promoter of professional drag racing in the world.

While the grassroots racing organization has come a long way in its 70-plus years of operation, some things will never change. It’s easy to see why fans are so committed to NHRA Championship Drag Racing. They continue to have the best access to the behind-the-scenes action of racing. NHRA’s open-pits policy allows fans to get a view of the way teams operate.

The NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series crisscrosses the U.S., making stops in major cities across the country over the course of its 2022 season.

Information about NHRA is available in various forms, including the magazine, National Dragster and the highly acclaimed NHRA.com. Award-winning National Dragster covers every race from the first sportsman run to the final Camping World Series blast to the winner’s circle. NHRA.com has won several awards for its innovative, interactive coverage of all forms of NHRA Drag Racing and provides daily results, feature stories and breaking news at the click of a mouse. In 2022, FOX Sports will again provide television coverage of the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series, with live coverage at many events, including several on the FOX national broadcast network.

NHRA has the most loyal fans who are committed to the sport they love, and it’s easy to see why. With thousands of members and a strong network of member tracks, a myriad of events sanctioned by NHRA throughout the nation.

Keeping with Parks’ original philosophy, President Glen Cromwell and CEO Peter Clifford will continue to guide the sport, assuring that safety and technological improvements remain a top priority. Progressive changes will help the NHRA continue to fulfill its leadership role in the motorsports world well into the future. The NHRA will protect and further the best interests of the sport, constantly lobbying for beneficial safety and insurance legislation for auto enthusiasts. One of the most important events in drag racing history occurred in March 1993, when the Federation Internationale de I’Automobile (FIA) officially recognized the sport. That opened the doors to drag racing and afforded it a more solidified role in the world’s motorsports community.

NHRA, the largest motorsports sanctioning body in the world, is an active member of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) and actively works with the SFI Foundation to promote safety in competition and the high-performance aftermarket industry. NHRA serves as drag racing’s representative in international motorsports through its membership in the Automobile Competition Committee for the United States (ACCUS).

Participation on and off the track has made the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series one of the most popular forms of racing, reaching thousands of fans, members and sponsors at over 330 mph.

WALLY PARKS (1913-2007)NHRA FounderThe primary driving force behind the formation of the National Hot Rod Association, Wally Parks was the visionary whose early goals created what today is the world’s largest motorsports governing body. After nurturing NHRA for six decades, Parks died in September 2007 at the age of 94.

Parks, who founded NHRA in 1951, never implied that he did it all himself. Reflecting on the tremendous growth and success of NHRA, he noted often how fortunate he was that so many dedicated people shared his outlook that almost anything is possible if you believe in it strongly enough. One of the most dedicated was unquestionably his wife, Barbara Parks, who died in January 2006.

Without Parks’ vision and perseverance, much of what has happened today may not have been achieved.

Born in Oklahoma, then living in Kansas until age 8, Parks’ automotive interests surfaced after his family moved to California. In his high school years, he became active in building stripped-down Model T Fords and Chevy fours for use on the street and in early speed trials conducted on dry lakebeds in the Mojave Desert.

In 1937, Parks took part in the formation of the Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) – an organization focused on conducting land speed record events – serving as one of its officials until World War II began. In 1946, following military service in the South Pacific, Parks was elected president of the reorganized SCTA. In 1947, after 10 years as a road test driver and process engineer for General Motors, Parks left GM to assume a new role as the SCTA’s general manager. It was his concept that produced America’s first Hot Rod Show, presented by the SCTA in 1948 at the Los Angeles Exposition Armory.

In 1948, Parks helped co-publishers Bob Petersen and Bob Lindsay in the introduction of Hot Rod magazine, which became one of the world’s largest-circulation auto enthusiast publications, and later was named its first editor. In 1949, Parks organized the campaign that led to the opening of Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats for hot rod speed trials – a still thriving annual activity.

In 1951, utilizing Hot Rod as a conduit to nationwide readership, Parks formed the National Hot Rod Association. In 1963, he resigned his position as editorial director for all of Petersen’s automotive magazines – Hot Rod, Motor Trend, Car Craft, Sports Car Graphic and Motor Life – to assume full-time administrative duties as president of NHRA.

An early recipient of Car Craft magazine’s prestigious Ollie Award for his many contributions to motorsports, Parks was named Man of the Decade, 1962-1972 by Popular Hot Rodding magazine and was recognized as Man of the Year in 1973 by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA). The American Auto Racing Writers & Broadcasters Association (AARWBA) honored Parks in 1988 and again in 1994 for his pioneering efforts in motorsports. Parks received his highest honors in 1992 and 1993. He was drag racing’s first inductee into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1992 at Talladega, Ala., and in 1993, he was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame at Novi, Mich.

In 1994, the tributes to Parks’ legacy continued to pile up. A large bronze statue of Parks was presented at NHRA’s Gainesville Raceway, which was eventually moved to its current location in front of the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum at the Fairplex in Pomona, Calif. Later in 1994, Parks and wife Barbara were co-inductees into the Don Garlits International Drag Racing Hall of Fame at Ocala, Fla., for their pioneering efforts that spearheaded NHRA’s success. Parks also was the first recipient of the Don Prudhomme Award, a trophy presented by NHRA to an individual who has made a profound impact on the growth and positive image of the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series.

At the 2001 NHRA Awards Ceremony, Parks was presented the prestigious Blaine Johnson Award for his dedication, perseverance and nurturing commitment to the sport over the years.

In 2002, Parks again was recognized for his many contributions to the sport of drag racing. He was presented with the inaugural Robert E. Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award at the fourth annual Hot Rod &

N H R A

Performance Trade Show in Indianapolis. Petersen, a renowned automotive publisher and creator of multiple automotive magazines, presented Parks with the all-bronze sculpture, which was created to honor the entrepreneurs who have contributed to the history, growth and well-being of the hot rod industry.

In late 2003, Parks received another honor of distinction when he was named the Dean Batchelor Lifetime Achievement Award winner by the Motor Press Guild in Los Angeles.

During his final days, Parks was active on NHRA’s board of directors and dedicated much of his time to the cultivation and expansion of the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum. Although much of the museum’s historical focus is on the evolution of NHRA and drag racing, it also features many other forms of motorsports that relate closely to the formative years of NHRA, including dry lakes, Bonneville, oval track racing and allied performance industries.

Those are elements that appealed most to Wally Parks, a guy who had been there, done that and enjoyed and appreciated it for decades.

DIRECTIONSFrom the east: Take I-94 to 35E north to 694 west. Continue on 694 west until it turns into I-94 west. Exit Clearwater and turn right at the stoplight and continue to Hwy. 10. Turn left onto Hwy. 10 until the transition to Hwy. 371. The race track is located 5 miles north of Brainerd on the right side of the road. From the south: Take I-35 to 494 west.

The race track is located 5 miles north of Brainerd on the right side of the road.

TRACK HISTORYOriginally opened in 1968 as Donnybrooke Speedway, the track was renamed Brainerd International Raceway (BIR) in 1973. From 1968 to 1976, road racing was the predominant form of motorsports at BIR. The NHRA expanded its national event schedule and ventured north to BIR in 1977. In 1983, professional motorcycle racing was added to the facility’s season program.

The 800-acre facility is adjacent to North Long Lake and is located 120 miles north of the Twin Cities, 110 miles from Duluth, Minn., and 135 miles from Fargo, N.D. BIR’s 3.1-mile, 10-turn Donnybrooke Road Course includes a mile-long straightaway that serves as the drag strip during NHRA events. A second road course, the 2.5-mile 13-turn Competition Road Course, was opened in 2008 and allows for road racing and drag racing to go on simultaneously. Improvements made to the Competition Road Course now makes it certified for all types of road racing except for Formula One.

BIR added a new 700-foot concrete launchpad in 2002. New asphalt was added throughout the shutdown area. In April 2004 the final step of the $1 million drag strip renovation that started in 2002 was completed. A new 30-inch-high retaining wall was constructed along the first 1,000 feet of the drag strip. In 2007 a new return road was added in front of the grandstands, giving fans a closer view of their favorite drivers following their runs.

BIR also has 12 two-bedroom, two-bath deluxe condominiums, 164 full-service RV sites and rustic camping that includes the infamous Zoo Campground during NHRA Nationals week. The Wheelie Bar & Grille is a full-service bar and grill that opens for breakfast and closes at 1 a.m. Off-sale beer and alcohol is available as well.

Turn on Hwy. 11E north to access the north entrance and south entrance to Bristol Motor Speedway.

TRACK HISTORYBristol Dragway opened in 1965 under NHRA sanction. NHRA left Bristol in 1967. In 1996, Bruton Smith bought Bristol Dragway and closed the facility after the 1997 season to begin work on the current $18 million facility. The facility reopened for the 1999 season and hosted the inaugural NHRA All-Star event that year and again in 2000. In 2001, Bristol Dragway hosted the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals, the first NHRA national event held at Bristol Dragway since 1967.

After hosting its annual NHRA event during the early spring months of April and May for several years, the 2010 edition of the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals moved to Father’s Day weekend. The new date proved very popular with race fans and prompted NHRA officials to keep the race on the same mid-June date. While many drag strips have come and gone, Bristol Dragway has stood the test of time. With its unique surroundings and colorful history, it is one of the ultimate destinations in the world of drag racing.

TRACK HISTORYJohn Sr. and Frances Bandimere purchased a parcel of land west of Denver to build a race track as a supplement to the family auto parts business. The small drag strip began as a facility to provide a safe environment for young people to learn about cars and to race them off the streets. Over the course of 60 years, Bandimere Speedway has undergone many improvements.

The greatest improvement was a $4 million renovation in 1988. During the construction, the facility was not part of the NHRA circuit. During the 1988 facelift, Bandimere Speedway tripled spectator seating, paved the pit areas, improved spectator parking, and added a state-of-the-art timing and press tower which includes corporate suites.

Prior to the 2008 season, the entire track was redone, creating an all-concrete racing surface. During this process, a proprietary track cooling system was installed that drops the surface temperature of the racing surface by up to 20 degrees for improved racing action. The track is cooled to the 330 foot mark from the launching pad in both lanes by circulating 24,000 gallons of chilled water through the track. Additionally, over 150 MUSCO lights were added along both sides of the track and shutdown area. In 2018, Bandimere Speedway celebrated its 60th anniversary.

TRACK HISTORYNew England Dragway celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2016. It remains the only quarter-mile drag strip in New England. Open four days a week from the beginning of April through the end of October New England Dragway features everything from weekly grudge racing to world class events, including the NHRA New England Nationals.

Following the credo, “built by racers for racers,” New England Dragway continues improving its facility in order to keep pace with a new generation of racers who bring faster and more complex machines to race at its legendary quarter-mile. New grandstands have replaced many of the old bleachers purchased used from a Massachusetts university. Its old PA system gave way to a state of the art sound system featuring Bose acoustics. In 2010 the concrete pad was extended from 745 feet to 1,320 feet followed by a specialized finishing process to make the entire quarter-mile smooth and fast.

TRACK HISTORYGainesville Raceway opened in 1969 and held its first Gatornationals event in 1970. Long considered one of the fastest tracks on the NHRA circuit, it was from this legendary launch point that drivers clocked the first 260-, 270- and 300-mph Top Fuel runs. It also was from this starting line, during the 2000 Gatornationals, that eight of 10 national records were set in the professional classes. Following the 2003 season, Gainesville Raceway underwent some significant renovations.

The concrete launchpad at the starting line of the ultra-quick drag strip was extended to 700 feet and the remainder of the racing surface, the shutdown area, and the professional pit area, were repaved. A new television compound was constructed on the north side of the drag strip, which frees up space in the pit area.

In 2007 eight Skyboxes with outside seating were added to the top of the Southside staring line grandstands. Also in 2007 the Top Eliminator Club pavilion was constructed which greatly improved the race experience for our TEC customers. The storm drainage system in the parking lots was upgraded and several of the access roads to the sportsman pit areas were improved.

In 2008, the old tower was torn down, and a new, state-of-the-art control tower was built in its place. The new VIP tower holds race-control operations, track offices, and a spacious media center.

Prior to the 50th anniversary Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals the facility poured an all-concrete racing surface and repaved the full shutdown area.

DIRECTIONSFrom I-465, exit Crawfordsville Road (U.S. Hwy 136). Head west for approximately four miles through the town of Clermont. The main entrance to the facility is on the left, one-half mile past Raceway Road. From I-74, use exit 68 (Ronald Regan Parkway) and turn south. When you arrive at U.S. Hwy 136, turn left and the track will be on the right.

TRACK HISTORYIn 1958, led by Tom Binford, Frank Dickie, Rodger Ward and Howard Fieber, 15 Indianapolis- area businessmen and racing professionals invested $5,000 each to fund the development of what would become Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis. The group purchased a 267-acre farm about seven miles from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and developed a multipurpose auto racing facility.

The original intention in creating Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis was to design a 15-turn, 2.5- mile road course. Nearly as an afterthought, and as an insurance measure against economic problems, the investment group decided to incorporate a quarter-mile drag strip into the long straightaway of the 2.5-mile road course design. Constructed with assistance from the NHRA, the drag strip was the first of the three courses to be completed, and the facility’s first event was held on the strip in the fall of 1960.

During the 1960 U.S. Nationals in Detroit, a handshake agreement between Binford and NHRA founder Wally Parks promised that the event would move to Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis in 1961. The historic three-year pact was signed and sealed under a tree in Detroit Dragway’s pits, and Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis eventually became the home of NHRA’s biggest annual event.

The NHRA purchased the entire facility in 1979. The first major improvement came in 1983 with the construction and dedication of Parks Tower, the four-story drag strip tower. In 1998, new grandstands, suites and a tower complex on the front straightaway were completed at the oval track at a cost of nearly $2.5 million, which included the repaving of the entire oval surface as part of a three-phase facility improvement project.

In 2001, NHRA and Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis constructed a new drag strip racing surface, replacing the strip with a 660-foot concrete launch pad and laying new asphalt on the remainder of the track and shutdown area. Prior to the 2003 Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals, eight new luxury suites were added along the top of the west-side grandstands of the drag strip, giving fans a unique perspective of the action on the famed quarter-mile track. In 2005, new soft-barrier walls were added to the oval. In 2011, the track announced a track entitlement with Lucas Oil Products.

In 2016, a new permanent Top Eliminator Club (TEC) building was constructed at the facility. The 16,000-square-foot multipurpose event space will utilized during the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals as well as other events during the year. The building will feature a covered entryway, private restrooms, capacity for more than 1,000 people, state-of-the-art audiovisual system, and bar area.

DIRECTIONSFrom Las Vegas: I-15 north to Speedway Boulevard exit.

TRACK HISTORYOn 1,600 acres, Las Vegas Motor Speedway opened in 1996. The multi-facility motorsports complex includes a 1.5-mile superspeedway, half-mile dirt oval, 3/8-mile paved oval, quarter-mile drag strip, road courses and go-kart and motocross tracks. Speedway Motorsports, Inc., purchased the facility in 1998.

The state-of-the-art drag strip was completed in the spring of 2000, featuring the first-of-its-kind corporate suites on the back of the spectator grandstands. A foot tunnel underneath the drag strip allows spectators easy access between the west and east grandstands.

For the 2018 season the drag strip was widened from two-lanes to four for the spring event.

TRACK HISTORYSummit Motorsports Park, now in its 52nd year of providing exciting racing entertainment, opened with little fanfare in April of 1963 when drag racing as a sport was in its infancy. Don Garlits had just recently been named “Big Daddy” at the U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis down the road, and John Force was 13 years old.

Summit Motorsports Park opened under the leadership of new owner Bill Bader, Sr. on April 28, 1974. After a rocky start in which Bader reconsidered his investment, he committed himself to the project beginning with a mission statement predicated on providing a customer service driven, customer friendly facility that made good sense and focused on value.

The facility has grown into one of the preeminent drag racing facilities in the country. In 2006, NHRA and the Bader family announced that a national event would be coming to Norwalk, followed by one of drag racing’s most successful inaugural races in 2007. It was both the culmination of the senior Bader’s vision and the beginning of a new era for the facility.

In 2007, current President Bill Bader Jr. completed a $7 million facility expansion project that included paving the pits, new luxury skybox suites and a new state-of-the-art media center.

In 2018 the facility undertook a racing surface improvement project and the full racing surface was transitioned to concrete.

Prior to the 2004 season, the drag strip at WHPMP was repaved and the pit area asphalt was chip-sealed while the pit area for the professional competitors was expanded.

In 2007, the concrete at the starting line to 700 feet was replaced and the shutdown area received new asphalt. In 2010, Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park completely re-worked its racing surface.

TRACK HISTORYOriginally opened in 1950 as a way to encourage street racers to compete safely, Auto Club Raceway at Pomona was built with the combined efforts of the Pomona Valley Timing Association, Pomona Police Chief Ralph Parker and the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds. Through fundraisers, these three entities opened the track that began as a dirt parking lot with an asphalt strip down the middle. Bleachers that held no more than 300 spectators were in place next to a timing tower that was merely scaffolding with a roof on top. Auto Club Raceway at Pomona built its first permanent timing tower in 1968, and it was a meager three-story building that housed race control, the track office and a small media room.

The small three-story tower that stood for more than 25 years gave way to a 14,600-square foot tower complete with corporate suites and a modern press center. In 1992, Auto Club Raceway at Pomona entered the final phase of the $4.5-million modernization project, which included the installation of permanent grandstand seats, with 20,000 of them having seat backs.

In 2001, Auto Club Raceway at Pomona’s entire 1,320-foot racing surface was repaved to extend the concrete launchpad from 330- to 660-feet. Prior to the 2003 Auto Club NHRA Finals, the return road was repaved with a 25-foot stretch of pavement from the track turnout to the grandstands. The project included a fresh slurry coat on the staging lanes and walkways under the main grandstands.

Prior to the 2004 season, a new television compound was added and LED lights were installed in the scoreboards, making them very easy to read.

In 2006, ground was broken for state-of-the-art skyboxes that debuted at the Auto Club of Southern California NHRA Finals in November. The suites are positioned atop the east grandstand, and on a clear day the Los Angeles skyline is visible.

TRACK HISTORYThe track was created as a collaborative effort between Alfred Stauffer, who owned several hundred acres of farmland, and several members of the Eastern Custom Car Association. Together, they planned the layout and necessary facilities. A thin strip of asphalt measuring 30 feet wide and 2,500 feet long was laid in preparation for racers in 1962. Initially, the track was a one-fifth-mile track and was increased to the standard quarter-mile for the opening of the 1964 season.

Maple Grove Raceway holds the distinction of being the site of many of the NHRA’s most historic performances. Those memorable moments include Joe Amato and Shirley Muldowney making the first side- by-side four-second Top Fuel pass (1989); the first side-by-side Top Fuel race in which both drivers eclipsed 300 mph (Mike Dunn/Blaine Johnson); the first Top Fuel driver in the 4.70s (Cory McClenathan); the first Pro Stock driver in the 6.70s (Darrell Alderman); and the first Pro Stock Motorcycle rider in the 7.00s (Matt Hines). The track is currently the site of four of the national records in the NHRA series, including Antron Brown’s Top Fuel E.T. record of 3.701 seconds.

In 2004, a new food court area was constructed. In 2008 the track’s timing system was upgraded to Compulink Fiber Optics and new LED scoreboards were installed. The Alfred S. Stauffer Memorial Walk of Fame and Victory Lane were constructed. The Walk of Fame honors individuals who’ve contributed to the success of Maple Grove Raceway. Maple Grove Raceway’s concrete racing surface was extended in 2008 to the 770’ mark of the quarter mile track. In the spring of 2015 ownership elected to remove the remaining 550’ of asphalt and replace it with concrete, making Maple Grove one of the only total concrete quarter-mile tracks in country.

DIRECTIONSPacific Raceways is 30 minutes from downtown Seattle and 10 miles east of Interstate 5 on Highway 18. From I-5, use exit 142A (Auburn exit) and travel east 10 miles on Highway 18, following the signs to the track. From other points, use Highway 18 and exit SE 304th Street or SE 312th Street.

TRACK HISTORYThe Fiorito family became involved with Pacific Raceways at its inception in 1958, when Dan Fiorito Sr. wanted to eliminate the dangers of illegal street racing by providing a safer, controlled environment. At the time, Dan Sr. owned a heavy-road-construction company and agreed to construct and pave the track. Pacific Raceways has a 2.25-mile road course carved out of the natural terrain, providing a total elevation change of nearly 128 feet. For many years, the property was leased to another operator and was named Seattle Int’l Raceway. The property returned to the Fiorito family and assumed its original name.

In 2012, new concrete was poured from the water box to 300 feet.

TRACK HISTORYIn 1968, a twisting 12-turn, 2.52-mile road course and quarter-mile drag strip were carved into the scenic Sonoma Valley and Sonoma Raceway was born. In a half-century, the facility has developed into one of the premier motorsports and entertainment venues in the world, hosting events from the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series to the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.

This year marks the 32nd annual NHRA event on the Sonoma Valley drag strip. Joe Amato (Top Fuel), Mark Oswald (Funny Car) and Harry Scribner (Pro Stock) claimed victories at the inaugural event in 1988. Career-win leaders in Sonoma include John Force in Funny Car (eight), Doug Kalitta in Top Fuel (five), Greg Anderson in Pro Stock (five) and LE Tonglet in Pro Stock Motorcycle (four). Two track records were set in 2018, including Top Fuel driver Clay Millican’s speed of 332.75 mph and Hector Arana Jr.’s record speed of 200.35 mph in Pro Stock Motorcycle. In addition, Pro Stock driver Greg Anderson’s No. 1 qualifying record tied him with Bob Glidden for most top qualifying efforts in the class. The drag strip’s long lasting history of setting and breaking national records holds strong with Funny Car driver Robert Hight’s national speed record of 339.87 mph (2017). J.R. Todd secured his first career Funny Car victory in 2017 making him the first African-American to

win in the NHRA Funny Car category and also the second driver in NHRA history to win at Sonoma Raceway in both nitro categories; the first was Don Prudhomme.

Sonoma Raceway celebrates 50 years of racing during its 2019 race season. The facility’s ceremonial groundbreaking took place on Aug. 14, 1968. Paving was completed on the road course in November of that year, and the raceway hosted its first non-spectator event, an SCCA Enduro, on Dec. 1, 1968. The raceway went on to host its first full season of racing in 1969, which included NHRA drag racing, AMA motorcycle racing and SCCA road racing.

DIRECTIONSWorld Wide Technology Raceway is five minutes from downtown St. Louis at the intersection of Interstates 55/70 and Ill. Route 203 (Exit 4).

TRACK HISTORYOn this site in 1967, Wayne Meinert opened the original St. Louis Int’l Raceway, an eighth-mile strip. Chris Pook and the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach bought the facility in 1995 and began a renovation of the facility that continued through 2010. Retired racecar driver and real estate developer Curtis Francois purchased the track in 2011, re-branded the facility and has made more than $20 million in improvements in the venue. World Wide Technology Raceway now features the NHRA drag strip (Dragplex), a 1.25-mile superspeedway for NASCAR and INDYCAR events, the 1.6-mile Circuit of St. Louis road course, a state-of-the-art kart racing facility and an off-road track.

TRACK HISTORYAfter opening its doors in 1989, Heartland Motorsports Park, the record setting dragstrip with 23 luxury suites, 2.5-mile championship road course and 3/8-mile dirt oval track, 2.1 mile motorcross track, 22 acre Autocross pad and Rallycross course, would stretch its arms to welcome everything and anything that had to do with the history of the automobile and growing world of motorsports.

Originally proposed in 1985 as a venue to attract young residents, the initial $22 million construction project took more than a year and was the first major motorsports facility to be built in North America since 1968. The track went through a $15-million renovation back in 2003 that added 33 garages, a state-of-the-art tech building and a new timing and scoring building for road course events. After being closed in 2015 the facility was purchased at the beginning of 2016 and revitalized to its former glory.

Heartland Motorsports Park is the site of record-breaking performances. In the Funny Car category, in 1993, Chuck Etchells and Jim Epler became the first Funny Car drivers to run four-second and 300- mph passes, respectively.

The multipurpose facility hosts a wide variety of entertaining events, including the NHRA event.

COUNTDOWN/BONUS EVENTS

2021 NHRA CAMPING WORLD DRAG RACING SERIES SEASONThere was still plenty a little different and unique about the 2021 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season, but as fans flocked back to tracks across the country, the season ended with a number of incredible moments and thrilling runs.

The season started at Gainesville Raceway as the traditional opener in Pomona was moved to the summer, but fans were overjoyed with the return of NHRA racing, as the Camping World Drag Racing Series visited many tracks for the first time since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What they witnessed was spectacular runs, stellar championship races as the Countdown to the Championship playoffs returned and plenty of history along the way.

The season ended in its traditional spot in Pomona after finishing in Las Vegas in 2020, as racers finished off a truly outstanding 20-race season.

In Top Fuel, the season started with a major surprise, but it was a familiar face that quickly took control of a class he has dominated for nearly a half-decade. But Gainesville belonged to star rookie Josh Hart, who won the Gatornationals in his debut start, becoming just the sixth driver in NHRA history to win in their first race. Hart added a second win later in the year to cement his stellar rookie season, but it was Steve Torrence who once again established his dominance early and often.

He won six of the next eight events to once again take a commanding points lead, with his father, Billy, adding a win in Epping for good measure. In Atlanta, Antron Brown closed out the final race at Atlanta Dragway with his lone victory of the season, while Leah Pruett broke through during the summer race in Pomona to keep Torrence from sweeping the Western Swing. Brittany Force followed in Topeka with a historic victory, winning on the same weekend as her father, John, to become the first father-daughter duo in NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series history to win the same event. Force rolled to a second-place finish in the class, helped in part by a tremendous string of 12 No. 1 qualifiers, including eight straight at one point.

Torrence followed with back-to-back wins, including the U.S. Nationals, to take momentum into the Countdown to the Championship, but he faced standouts at every turn. Billy won the opener and Hart took Charlotte before Steve broke through in St. Louis. Justin Ashley, who turned into a bonafide competitor in just his second season, won in Dallas and recorded a top-four finish in the class, while Mike Salinas also enjoyed his best season to date after winning in Bristol. The title was still up for grabs heading into the final two races, with Torrence, Ashley, Force and Salinas all in contention, but per usual, Torrence and his Capco Contractors team rose to occasion in crunch time. He won the final two events in impressive fashion, taking the victory at both Las Vegas and Pomona.

It finished off an incredible year where he won 11 races and clinched his fourth straight world title, putting another remarkable stamp one of the best stretches in NHRA history. A slew of top drivers will try to prevent a fifth straight title in 2022, but as Torrence proved once again in 2021, there road through a championship goes through Kilgore, Texas.

The 2021 Funny Car was as wild as any recent season in the nitro class, with points leaders changing by the race for a huge bulk of the season. It was a nod to the tremendous parity in the class, one that was helped with the return of John Force and Robert Hight to full-time racing. In all, the points leader changed hands at eight straight races, and then changed one final time over the final three races. A total of 10 racers also won at least one event, with J.R. Todd starting the season with an impressive victory at Gainesville in the opener.

Bob Tasca III won back-to-back races to move into the points lead, a spot he would hold through the entire first half of the season. Tasca finished the season with three victories, taking the win at the finale at the World Finals

in Pomona in what turned out to be the best year of his career. Force and Hight combined to win the next three events, with Force winning in Charlotte and Epping. He remained in the title chase for much of the year, also grabbing a memorable win at Topeka, where he shared the winner’s circle with his daughter, Brittany.

In Norwalk, Cruz Pedregon picked up his first win in more than three years, also signaling his return to prominence. He added a late-season win in Las Vegas and remained in championship contention until the finale. He finished fourth in points, while defending world champ Matt Hagan broke through with his first win of the year in Denver. It gave Hagan his first win on Thunder Mountain and he rode that momentum to a strong finish, one that included victories in Brainerd and St. Louis, which took place during the Countdown to the Championship. Tommy Johnson Jr. also filled in for Hagan at the playoff opener and drove to the win after Hagan missed the event with COVID-19.

Tim Wilkerson played the underdog role beautifully once again, taking the U.S. Nationals and a playoff race in Charlotte, throwing a major scare into the bigger teams. Alexis DeJoria won in Bristol to cap off her strong season, but the year ultimately belonged to Ron Capps, who was a model of consistency en route to his second world championship. His first win didn’t come until early August in Pomona, but he put together a bevy of round wins to stay near the top. The team took it to another level in the playoffs, and he picked up a huge final round win over Hagan in the final round at Dallas. He took the points lead in Bristol and held off Hagan and company the rest of the way, clinching the championship during eliminations at Pomona and wrapping up a truly memorable year in the class.

The 2021 Pro Stock campaign marked an thrilling time in the class as a series of young standouts made their mark on the class. But in the end, it was another classic duel between the two biggest stars in the class that told the story in Pro Stock, with fans getting treated to another chapter in the storied rivalry between Greg Anderson and Erica Enders.

Both drivers entered the year seeking their fifth world championship, with Enders winning consecutive titles in 2019 and 2020. But right from the start, Anderson appeared to have a leg up on everyone as he tried to make history in the class. He qualified No. 1 in Gainesville — something that would be a theme for the year — and then won the race to move into the points lead, something he didn’t relinquish for the entire season.

But he had to work, as Enders broke through a race later in Las Vegas. After Anderson won the final race in Atlanta, the first shot from the young standouts was felt, as rookie Dallas Glenn won in just his fourth career start. He won the four-wide race in Charlotte, setting the tone for his spectacular season. He was dynamite on the starting line, posting a perfect .000 reaction time in his final round win at Topeka and added a third win at Las Vegas en route to winning the NHRA Rookie of the Year award.

After Matt Hartford won in Houston, another young standout, Aaron Stanfield, won three of the next four races, putting him in title contention. Enders, who also knocked off Anderson in a thriller at Norwalk, took the U.S. Nationals for the second straight year, giving her plenty of momentum heading into the playoffs.

But Anderson struck first, winning in Reading, while second-year standout Kyle Koretsky picked up his first career victory in the class with a victory in Charlotte. Enders struck again in St. Louis to close the gap, but Anderson wouldn’t be denied and made spectacular history in Dallas. His victory — the 98th in his career at that point — gave him the most in Pro Stock history, marking an incredible note in his 2021 dream season.

In a marquee match-up at the World Finals, Anderson took out Enders in the semifinals and then drove his way to victory, giving him five victories, 12 No. 1 qualifiers and nine final rounds during 2021. It also gave the legendary driver 99 career victories and five world championships, with a shot at 100 wins heading into 2022.

Matt Smith started and ended the 2021 Pro Stock Motorcycle season with victories, ensuring a fifth world championship for the standout rider, but there was plenty between those two events that put his second straight title in peril.

That was obvious early in the season, as Steve Johnson showed immense potential during a spectacular weekend in Charlotte. After Ryan Oehler and Scotty Pollacheck won in Las Vegas and Atlanta, respectively, Johnson went to work in Charlotte, going 6.729 en route to the win, making the quickest run ever for a Suzuki.

It was Johnson’s first victory in seven years, but it wasn’t the last for the veteran, who made an impressive championship charge on his four-valve Suzuki. Smith then won the first two races of the Western Swing, going a record-breaking 205.04 mph, but Karen Stoffer made sure it wasn’t a sweep with a standout performance

in Pomona, starting her late-season surge. She advanced to the finals of the last three events of the year, finishing fifth in points.

Eddie Krawiec, who didn’t make his first start of the season until Atlanta, picked up a huge win at the U.S. Nationals, but the championship came down to Smith, Johnson, who won the playoff opener in Reading to move into the points lead, and Angelle Sampey, who won in Charlotte.

Smith came charging back in Dallas to win the race and move back into the lead, but Sampey followed with a Bristol victory to remain in contention as well. Johnson then showed he wasn’t going away without a fight, too, picking up his third victory of the season with his Las Vegas win, setting the stage for a must-see event in Pomona.

As he’s done time and time again, though, Smith delivered a star performance when it was needed most. He qualified second at the final and then knocked off Sampey in the second round of eliminations to clinch the championship. Smith finished the job with the win, his sixth of the season, to cement a fifth world championship. Smith advanced to eight finals in 15 Pro Stock Motorcycle races, picking up four No. 1 qualifiers as he continues to make his ascent when it comes to all-time performers in Pro Stock Motorcycle history.

PEP BOYS NHRA ALL-STAR CALLOUTThe Pep Boys NHRA Top Fuel All-Star Callout and the Pep Boys NHRA Funny Car All-Star Callout, which were formerly known as the NHRA All-Star Shootout events, are a pair of highly-anticipated specialty races that will take place during the 2022 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series season.

The Pep Boys NHRA Top Fuel All-Star Callout will take place at the third event of the season, the Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals on March 10-13 at Gainesville Raceway, while the Pep Boys NHRA Funny Car All-Star Callout is part of the prestigious Dodge//SRT NHRA U.S. Nationals at Lucas on Aug. 31-Sept. 5.

The Pep Boys NHRA All-Star Callout events will feature intense competition between the top eight NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car drivers in the world. The shootout will also utilize a call out format with the No. 1 seed getting their first choice of opponent. This unique format will deliver can’t-miss racing action from the stars in the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series.

In Top Fuel, the eight-car field will be set based on a combination of season end and qualifying points at the 2022 Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals and NHRA Arizona Nationals, with reigning world champion Steve Torrence already earning his place into the field as the No. 1 seed.

In Funny Car, drivers will gain points towards the Pep Boys NHRA All-Star Callout from the 2021 Dodge//SRT NHRA U.S. Nationals until the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals in Brainerd, which is the final event before the annual race in Indy.

Both the Pep Boys NHRA Top Fuel All-Star Callout and the Pep Boys NHRA Funny Car All-Star Callout will also be broadcast live, with the Top Fuel speciality race taking place on the FOX national broadcast network on Saturday, March 12 in Gainesville and the Funny Car callout getting a live timeslot on Fox Sports 1 (FS1) on Sunday, Sept. 4 in Indy.

“It is extremely exciting to welcome Pep Boys as the sponsor of our specialty NHRA All-Star Callout races in the nitro categories and make a pair of huge events even bigger,” said NHRA President Glen Cromwell. “I know our fans and race teams can’t wait for these must-see speciality races during what will be an incredible 2022 season and we’re thrilled to have a partner like Pep Boys on board as part of it.”

NHRA MANUFACTURERS CUPChevrolet has been named the 2021 NHRA Manufacturers Cup winner. The season-long points battle was captured on the strength of the Camaro Pro Stock car driven by five-time Pro Stock world champion Greg Anderson. The Pro Stock category was also represented by Erica Enders, Dallas Glenn, Kyle Koretsky, Troy Coughlin Jr. among others.

John Force and Robert Hight represented the Funny Car category. This is the 26th time Chevrolet has won the award and the fifth consecutive year for the manufacturer.

DRAG RACING MADE SIMPLEThe pulse-pounding sport of drag racing is a thrilling acceleration contest between two vehicles racing from a standing start over a straight course. Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars compete in a race distance of 1,000 feet; Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle compete in a race distance of 1,320 feet.

An NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series event is made up of a series of individual two-vehicle races called eliminations, with competing machines divided into four categories: Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle. Class eligibility is governed by criteria that limits engine size, type of fuel, vehicle weight, allowable modifications and aerodynamics.

The object is to get to the finish line first, which may not necessarily be the vehicle with the quickest time or fastest speed. Sound confusing? It really isn’t.

A set of lights, called a Christmas Tree, is used at the starting line. There is a 0.4-second difference between the flash of all the amber lights and the flash of the green light in the pro start system. Anytime a driver leaves the lines before the green, the red light illuminates to signal a foul. That offending driver is disqualified.

A driver can win despite a slower elapsed time and speed than his or her opponent. That’s because the winning driver had a quicker reaction time to the green light at the starting line, and that advantage was greater than his or her opponent’s performance advantage on the track. Remember, the elapsed-time clock in each lane doesn’t start until the vehicle moves past the starting line.

The 11,000-horsepower, nitromethane-burning Top Fuel dragsters are the quickest-accelerating machines on earth, going from a still position to 100 mph in less than one second. They are powered by supercharged, custom-built, 500-cubic-inch engines mounted behind the driver. Two parachutes, which are activated by a hand control inside the cockpit, are the car’s primary braking system.

Funny Cars are short-wheelbased cars with a carbon fiber replica of a production car body. The engines are identical to those that power Top Fuel machines, with one noticeable difference – they are located in front of the driver. Body styles allowed in competition are model year 2000 or newer two-door sports cars, coupes, or sedan bodies of a type originally mass-produced by an automobile manufacturer, foreign or domestic.

In the 1,000-foot race distance, Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars are capable of elapsed times in the high-three-second to low-four-second range, at speeds faster than 330 mph. Top Fuel records entering 2021 are 3.623-seconds and 338.17 mph, both set by Brittany Force during the 2019 season. In Funny Car, the records are 3.793-seconds and 339.87 mph, both set in 2017 by Robert Hight.

While working to retain a close resemblance to their showroom counterparts, Pro Stock cars feature extensive engine modifications, sophisticated chassis and suspension development and a maximum 500-cubic-inch engine displacement. Pro Stock cars must be 2005 or newer two-door or four-door coupes or sedans. All cars use electronically-controlled fuel injection systems and feature an NHRA-controlled 10,500 Rev Limiter. Entering the 2021 season, Jason Line owns the national record in elapsed time at a 6.455 – set in 2015 – while Erica Enders owns the national record speed of 215.55 mph, a mark reached in 2014.

The Pro Stock Motorcycle category is reserved for 1998 or newer stock-appearing, carbureted or electronic fuel injected, gasoline-burning machines. Andrew Hines holds the record for time at 6.720-seconds, and Matt Smith owns the record for speed, setting the mark of 201.76 mph during the 2019 Gainesville event.

DRAG RACING BASICS

A DAY AT A CAMPING WORLD DRAG RACING SERIES EVENTThe NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series tour visits 20 cities in all regions of the United States, bringing its unparalleled excitement to millions each year. The events are multi-day spectacles of color, sound and speed, chrome, style and flash, and ingenuity, innovation and engineering.

Though the track at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona in Southern California measures the same distance as the one at Las Vegas, or the historic drag strip at Indianapolis, each venue offers something different. For the uninitiated, here is what to expect when you head out for a day at the drags.

Unlike a typical three-hour football game or a two-hour concert, NHRA drag racing is an exciting all-day affair. The best advice for you as fans might well be the same advice given to the teams you’re coming to watch: Come early, stay late, and be prepared for the experience of a lifetime.

At the end of the day, don’t make a headlong rush for the gates the instant the last nitro car runs, either. While the majority of the crowd heads for the parking lot, hit the pits, where the teams are relaxing after a long day and likely to be more than accommodating to autograph requests or the opportunity to talk about drag racing. You can also get up close to the event winners during the fan-friendly Camping World Winner’s Circle.

At each of the 22 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series events, fans will have the opportunity to watch high speed racing action at premiere facilities across the country.

Drag racing is unique among motorsports because fans have direct access to the teams. You can watch from as close as five to 10 feet away as the highly skilled mechanics service their race cars.

If you want to get a real feel, smell and sound of the power of a fuel-burning engine, hang out until a team test-fires its engine, which generally takes place 45 minutes to an hour before it expects to run. You’ll get a nose full of nitro fumes and a genuine body-shaking thrill whenever the driver taps the throttle.

At each NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series national events, Top Fuel and Funny Car will take to the track during the course of a busy race weekend. At 18 races across the country, Pro Stock will also compete as they vie for the coveted Wally Trophy, while the Pro Stock Motorcycle class competes in 16 races.

Many of the future stars of NHRA Drag Racing develop their skills in the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, the premier Sportsman racing program in motorsports. The series showcases top competitors in Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Comp, Super

Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, Top Dragster, and Top Sportsman. They compete for national, regional, and divisional championships depending on class and a share of more than $500,000 in prize money.

At 12 events during the season the E3 Spark Plugs NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by J&A Service offers something for every kind of hot-rodding enthusiast. The thrilling and growing class filled with talented drivers is highlighted by historic muscle cars, as well as a variety of late model American muscle cars. With more than 3,000 horsepower, the suspended door Pro Mod cars travel the quarter-mile in less than six seconds at speeds exceeding 250 mph.

The NHRA Top Fuel Harley Drag Racing Series will compete at 10 events in 2021. This exciting category features NHRA’s only nitromethane-powered two-wheeled bikes capable of exceeding 220 mph with each pass.

The SAMTech.edu NHRA Factory Stock Showdown Drag Racing Series will compete at eight national events. This fan favorite category continues to grow in popularity as it showcases the best in American automotive muscle.

NHRA CAMPING WORLD DRAG RACING SERIES DESCRIPTION OF DISQUALIFICATIONSThere is nothing like a full-bore, wire-to-wire drag race, with one racer just nipping the other in the speed traps. However, some races are decided by a rule infraction that leads to the disqualification of one of the vehicles. These rules are designed to make competition even, but sometimes they can be confusing. Here is a quick look at each rule:

RED LIGHT: A red light is the most common infraction. Also called a foul start, it is simply caused by a driver leaving the starting line before the green light comes on. Some of the slight jumps made by a race vehicle can be detected only by the electronic starting-line system, but other red-light starts are plainly visible to the naked eye. Also, the red light will come on if the vehicle is not staged properly or if it lifts the front wheel(s) up too soon and moves forward.

CROSSING EXTREMITIES: While on a pass, a driver cannot allow his or her vehicle to cross either the centerline or outer lines. If the driver crosses a line during qualifying, his or her time will not count. If he or she does this during eliminations, the vehicle is disqualified. This is to keep drivers from staying in the power too long when the vehicle has assumed a dangerous posture on the track, or “gotten out of shape.” The only time this rule is waived is for a single-run final.

NOT STAGING: Once a vehicle leaves the staging lanes, it must be prepared to make a pass. Failure to stage upon the starter’s instructions will be grounds for disqualification. Also, once a vehicle is staged and leaves the line — forward or backward — for any reason, it is not allowed to restage. Such infractions during qualifying usually lead to the disqualification of the driver’s time.

SCALES: After any run, a vehicle may be called to the scales to check its weight. If the vehicle is too light or fails to report to the scales, its opponent is declared the winner.

MECHANICAL: Vehicles are subject to many engine and chassis regulations, and some are subject to teardown after final eliminations. Any irregularities lead to disqualification of the vehicle involved and the reinstatement of the runner-up.

BURNOUTS: The burnout, or tire-heating procedure that takes place on the starting line, is very much a part of drag racing; it’s very exciting and colorful. However, when and where burnouts are performed is subject to regulation. Only Top Fuelers, Funny Cars, Pro Stockers, Pro Stock Motorcycles, and alcohol cars can cross the starting line under power before a run, and they can only do that once. Any burnout done in the pits will lead to disqualification. Any vehicle doing a burnout must be able to back up by itself.

All infractions are subject to ruling by the event director. In the rare case of side-by-side infractions, the first or worst rule is used. In other words, if one competitor red-lights and then the other crosses the centerline, the second infraction would be deemed worse and that racer would be disqualified. The red-lighting vehicle would be reinstated.

DRAG STRIP TIMING AND SCORING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION1. PRE-STAGED BEAM:An infrared beam sender/receiver connection (per lane) triggers pre-staged lights and signals drivers that they are close to “staging” when this beam is broken by the vehicle’s front wheel.

2. STAGED BEAM/STARTING LINE:This infrared beam sender/receiver connection controls the starting and timing of each race. This beam triggers an independent “lane timer” for elapsed time and will trigger the red foul light if a false start occurs. A race cannot be started until both competitors are fully “staged.” The staged beam is located seven inches past the pre-staged beam.

3. INTERVAL TIMERS:Time and speed are recorded at five intervals along the track. There are clocking devices at the 60-, 330-, 660-, 1,000-foot, and 1/4-mile locations.

4. SPEED TRAPS AND ELAPSED-TIME CLOCK BEAMS:The first infrared beam sender/receiver trigger marks the beginning of the speed trap and is located 66 feet before the finish line. It is used to start the individual lane top speed clocks. A second beam, which is located at the finish line and serves as the end of the speed trap, shuts off both the individual lane elapsed-time and top speed clocks, and triggers the win-light indicator in the deserving lane.

The length of the actual racing surface at an NHRA Drag Racing Series event is one-quarter mile, or 1,320 feet. Top Fuel and Funny Car compete to 1,000 feet. The average width of each lane is 30 feet.

NHRA NATIONAL EVENT ‘CHRISTMAS TREE’ STARTING LINE

SYSTEMPRE-STAGE INDICATOR LIGHTS: Warns racers that they are approaching the starting line and the “staged” position.

STAGE INDICATOR LIGHTS: Signals racers that they are on the starting line and ready for a run. These lights are turned on when the front wheels of the race vehicle interrupt the beam from a light source to the photo cells that also triggers the timing equipment when the vehicle leaves the light beams.

THREE-AMBER STARTING SYSTEM: NHRA implemented the use of LED amber lights on the Christmas Tree starting system prior to the 2003 season. LED lights were utilized in place of incandescent lights because the vibration from the Top Fuel and Funny Car classes caused the incandescent bulbs to burn out.GREEN LIGHT: This is the one that makes it happen. Once the green light is flashed, the driver in that lane is free to make a run. Any time a green light is shown in a driver’s lane it indicates that a fair start was accomplished.

RED LIGHT: When a car leaves the starting line before the green light comes on, or, in some cases, is staged too deep into the staging beams, the red light will flash in that lane. It indicates that the driver in that lane has been disqualified. During competition only one red light will illuminate for the purpose of indicating the elimination of the first offender in the case of both driver’s leaving before the green light or staging too deep into the staging beams.

PRO TREE: Used in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle, Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Super Comp, and Super Gas. All three amber/LED lights flash simultaneously before the green lights come on. The system runs with a four-tenths difference between the amber and green lights. A perfect reaction time is .000.

NHRA ELIMINATION BRACKET16-CAR FIELDFor eliminations, NHRA features a traditional tournament-style bracket with the No. 1 qualifier matching up against the No. 16 qualifier, the No. 2 qualifier with the No. 15 qualifier and so on, during the opening round of eliminations. The higher qualified cars (Nos. 1-8) are allowed to choose which lane they want to run in during the first round of eliminations. For the following rounds of eliminations, lane choice is given to the car that records the quicker elapsed time in the previous round. The higher-qualified drivers also are given the choice of which pair they would like to be placed in the run order of the opening round of eliminations. Normally, the first pair of cars to race in each category in the first round of eliminations are the No. 8 and No. 9 qualified cars.

DRAG RACING BASICS

THE WALLY: DRAG RACING’S MOST COVETED TROPHYAt just more than one-foot tall with a classy brass finish, he stands on a solid wooden platform and is the most sought-after man in the world of NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series .

Be warned: He is elusive.

Only the very best can catch him. Affectionately known as a “Wally” in honor of the late NHRA founder Wally Parks by thousands of NHRA competitors who seek it, the NHRA event championship trophy has taken on a life of its own and remains one of the single-biggest

motivators for high-performance enthusiasts, from the smallest one-car garage in Kennebunkport, Maine, to one of the sport’s most sophisticated centers of technology and engineering in Indianapolis.

It is the ultimate reward for every drag racer, from the weekend warrior Super Street competition to the 11,000-horsepower gladiators in Top Fuel and Funny Car. When drivers earn a Wally, they cling to it with great passion because they know there’s no guarantee they’ll ever win another as well as the pride the crew has backing the winning driver.

“I’m going to have to hold back tears because this is a dream come true for me,” said 2020 NHRA Rookie of the Year winner Justin Ashley after claiming his first NHRA title. “To be here means the world to me.”

NHRA SAFETY SAFARI

Members of the NHRA Safety Safari perform some of the toughest and most important jobs at every NHRA national event. They are there to respond to on-track emergencies and help provide a track ready for competition at each of NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series events.

The Safety Safari, the first full-time team devoted to safety in North American motorsports, is known as the finest in racing. The Safety Safari is part of the team of first responders to incidents, along with other emergency and medical responders.

In the 1950s, NHRA formed the Safety Safari to educate competitors at small dragstrips across the United States. A four-man crew made up the original Drag Safari, as it was known. That crew used a station wagon to pull one small camper-style trailer containing all of the gear needed to stage a drag race.

Today, a fleet of trucks pulls a variety of trailers to all NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series events bringing customized track- maintenance equipment, electronic equipment, firefighting and other safety apparatuses, and a track dryer built from a jet engine.

The full-time Safety Safari crew arrives at the track Monday of race week to prepare the track. Workers use hand scrapers, blowtorches, a tractor-mounted sweeper, and a large vacuum sweeper to remove excess rubber and groom the surface. The final step is spraying a traction-enhancing compound on the racetrack.

This hardworking group of men and women are often the first to arrive at the track in the morning and are among the last to leave at night. The NHRA Safety Safari is the backbone of every national event and is key to a successful weekend.
