Drag Racing to Stream This Weekend (October 4-6, 2024)

Hi everybody. Here's a rundown of what races are available to stream this weekend.

The Professional Drag Racers Association (PDRA) will hold its PDRA DragWars at GALOT Motorsports Park in Benson, North Carolina this weekend. As the penultimate race of the PDRA season, the pressure is on for several points championships. Pro Nitrous is particularly close, with Jim Halsey holding a 53-point lead over Tommy Franklin.

The Mid-West Drag Racing Series (MWDRS) will also hold the penultimate race of its season, the MWDRS Texas Tango Nationals at Pine Valley Raceway in Lufkin, Texas. After a rain-abbreviated Pro Mod showdown at the Fall Smackdown a few weeks ago saw the remaining 4 drivers split the total winnings, the series enters its next-to-last race of its season with the Pro Mod championship still up for grabs between points leader Mark Micke, Keith Haney, and Aaron Wells. A particularly close points battle is brewing for second place in the Top Alcohol Funny Car class, as Jim Whiteley and Lance Van Hauen are separated by just two points.

In the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA), the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Division 3 season finale will be a doubleheader at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois, just last weekend the site of the NHRA Midwest Nationals. Some of the classes to keep an eye on for the Division 3 championship points battle include Super Stock, Super Comp, and Super Gas. Noted sportsman racer Luke Bogacki currently leads the Division 3 Super Gas standings.

Among the big money bracket races this weekend will be FRBR Promotions' 8th annual Door Wars: Battle off the Bottom, held at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton, Pennsylvania. The schedule features three $10,000-to-win races on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

At the local track level, Numidia Dragway in Catawissa, Pennsylvania will be hosting the inaugural Octoberbucks 150 bracket race to end their season. The event will feature two $15,000-to-win races on Saturday and Sunday. Southwest of there, US 60 Dragway in Hardinsburg, Kentucky will be hosting the 13th edition of the Turkey Bash, which will include small tire and radial racing. Also, Rock Falls Raceway in Eau Claire, Wisconsin will be hosting a Racer Appreciation Race to close their season.

Hope this helps! I tried adding some more context about the races since most championships are approaching the final stages of their seasons. I'll try to continue doing so where I'm able to find information about a racing series.

Drag Racing to Stream This Weekend (September 27-29, 2024)

Hello again. We've got another great weekend of drag racing ahead of us. Do keep in mind that because of the effects of Hurricane Helene and nearby storm systems, several races in the eastern US have been delayed, postponed, or canceled.

In Madison, Illinois, the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series visits World Wide Technology Raceway for the halfway point in its Countdown to the Championship. This weekend will mark the third of three back-to-back races to start the Countdown.

The National Mustang Racers Association (NMRA) will run its season finale, the NMRA World Finals, at Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

One of the biggest big money bracket races left on the calendar this year is the Fall Fling $500K at Bristol Dragway in Bristol, Tennessee. It has been delayed and troubled by rain in the area this week, including a cancellation of Thursday's activities, but weather permitting they plan to run the $500,000-to-win marquee event on Saturday.

The 2024 Southern Drag Boat Association (SDBA) season comes to a close this weekend at Spring Creek Marina in San Angelo, Texas.

Best wishes to all those on the eastern coast of the US this weekend who might be affected by inclement weather.

(By the way, it's not drag racing necessarily, but the Gearhead Hobbies YouTube channel will be livestreaming land speed racing from the Bonneville World Finals this weekend. Pretty cool stuff.)
