Well, the last ADRL race this past weekend had maybe 30 cars show up, and a monster truck. So I'm not sure what they're trying to do. NHRA is what it is. PDRA has a good show. IHRA is bracket racing. Then there's NMCA, MMRA, PSCA, all the radial, grudge, no prep stuff, Stock/Super Stock and .90 groups, lots of regional groups. Not sure what these guys plan to do or where they hope to fit in. Good luck.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I don't know much, but I do know this. I met Dallas Brown at Barona during a "Match Race Madness" deal a couple years back (check them out on facebook...fun event). He was stationed in the Navy and nearing his retirement and all of a sudden I see he's trying to revive the AHRA. I've been watching, but to be honest, I don't know where he's trying to go with this. They do have a FB page and I joined to watch the progress.

He retired last week after 22-1/2 years. He's got the Sportman racer in mind.

Very nice guy and enthusiastic drag racer. Believe he's originally from your neck of the woods.

I hope they make it work. I think that there are enough sanction bodies out there. It's just getting them to work for the average racer.


The end is near.....

WooHoo, my car was originally built for AHRA Formula Stock.

Wish him luck but like it has been said, tough road ahead.

Yes, I raced Buicks with his Dad back in the '80s. I've known Dallas since he was a little guy.

I would call it anything but AHRA, that name is poison. How about UDRA?

That would have been good advice for the guy at ADRL.

I know of at least 2 racing organizations using that UDRA acronym. Remains to be seen if it will be a racing organization or another 3 ring circus that just happens to be held at a dragstrip.

what was,was. AHRA is here to stay and very serious about the future and success of sportsman drag racing. its gonna take some work for sure but the browns are commited to getting it right. they need the support of the racers who want a fair and loyal program. its not for everyone and if one is not comfortable with ahra rules and such, that's ok even understandable. for those looking for a new racing experience join up and come race. stay tuned for rules and format,member tracks will be announced soon also. this opportunity for sportsman,bracket,and vintage racers shouldn't be taken as the s.o.s its a new forward thinking group that wants the little guys to be the big guys. thanks, jeff57

I won my first trophy in K/SA Formula three at the old Fontana Drag City in Fontana, CA when Mickey Thompson was the promoter under AHRA sanctions in 1964 boogie grin
I drove by the home and office of the original owner and operator of the original AHRA in Spokane, WA 6 years ago whiney
I wish NHRA had some serious competition in promoting drag races, especially on the west side of the Rockies luck

Altho I didn't win a trophy I did participate in an AHRA Nationals in 1961 at Thunder Valley Drag Strip at Forth Worth. Flat towed my Altered from Alexandria, LA. My friends and I had a blast. Some interesting stories from that trip. I still have my participation ribbon from that race.

December 1st. We will have a few rules up for the GT Classes. Its like "Original" Pro Stock or Modified Production 1970. Rules for other classes will be along shortly, like April. I do not plan on things being too big this year, just fun as hell and cost effective for the Sportsman. Quality over Quantity. 2019 will be even bigger but we gotta start somewhere and I (like you most likely) am a Blue-collar dude without buckets filled with money. I just want to make things right!
