Tally up another white knuckle, never been done before drag racing creation from the mind of promoter Chris Graves as the announcement was made in a partnership with Gerald Kramer and Iowa’s Eddyville Raceway Park to host the Inaugural Nitro Chaos event, set for July 30-31st. From the Funny Car Chaos series to the Pro Mod vs. Fuel Altered Showdown event in Texas each summer, Graves adds another unique entertainment minded drag race to the calendar for next year at a facility known for its nitro-themed spectator draw. It’s an all nitro affair and it should be thrilling as the ‘run whatcha’ brung’ format from Funny Car Chaos is carried into this event with only one rule, you must run a minimum of 80% nitromethane in the fuel tank.

“I’ve had this race outlined on paper for a few years, but couldn’t find the time to dive into making it happen," said Graves. "Gerald Kramer (owner of Eddyville Raceway Park) called one day this summer about doing a similar event and thirty minutes later we had a deal. A well-managed facility is critical to an event’s success, and Gerald and his son Kyle and the team at ERP bring years of experience to the table, which made this decision an easy one. We get requests all the time from racers wanting to add a class for their style car to the Funny Car Chaos series, but that takes a lot more than most realize. This event caters to anything, and we mean anything, on nitro. Fuel altereds, Funny Cars, rear engine dragsters, front-engine dragsters, door slammers, whatever. If it's tippin’ 80% or better in the tank, it's game on at Nitro Chaos.”

NHRA has announced the eight-race schedule for the 2021 NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Racing Series, featuring the NHRA Motorsports Museum’s Hot Rod Reunions. The series will feature thrilling racing action, highlighted by the crowd-pleasing, nitro-burning Nostalgia Top Fuel dragsters and Nostalgia Funny Cars.
 
The 2021 season will begin at the Heritage Nostalgia Reunion, April 29-May 1 at Sacramento Raceway. The traditional season opening Good Vibrations Motorsports March Meet at Auto Club Famoso Raceway was postponed until May due to the COVID-19 pandemic and will now be the series’ third event, following the Ignitor Funny Car Opener at Firebird Raceway.

Well, the rumors are out there.

Veteran roundy-round racer Tony Stewart has admittedly had a fascination for straight-line racing. Recently, Stewart scratched the itch at Frank Hawley's Drag Racing School.

Speculation suggests Stewart is headed to the Top Fuel ranks. He started the day at Bradenton Motorsports Park outside of Tampa, behind the wheel of a Super Comp dragster. Later, he graduated to the supercharged alcohol dragster.

Watch as noted drag racing instructor Frank Hawley shows a motorsports icon the ropes of driving a dragster.

In the uncertain season that was the 2020 NHRA season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pro Stock Motorcycle Ryan Oehler plowed ahead.

Oehler, campaigning an Erik Buell Racing motorcycle, finished a career-best seventh in the points standings, highlighted by winning Indy 1 and a runner-up performance in Houston.

“We are absolutely ready to race and win a championship next year,” Oehler said. “It has taken this long and this much work to get to a point where we honestly feel like we are a championship contender.”

Oehler most recently competed in the Man Cup presented by Vance & Hines 44th annual FuelTech World Finals at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Adel, Nov. 20-22.

It's race day at Beeline Dragway located in Scottsdale,Az. Qualifying is complete, now it's time to begin the process of eliminating down for a winner at the Hughes Performance Thunder in the Desert, Race 2 of 9 in the Virtual Reality Hot Rod Association. 

It's all fun in fantasy land to get away from the troubles of what is happening in the real world. 

For those new to this fantasy world, this is how it works. The race with the most votes advances to the next round. We had two days of voting to seed the eight-car fields. 

First-round ends tonight at 7 PM EST. 

Where does one begin to put their life back together following a tragedy? 

This was the pressing question that ran through Dom Lagana's mind as he lay in the hospital bed following an Aug. 9 highway accident that left him broken, burned and with both legs amputated at the knees. 

Lagana was injured when the high-horsepower, 1957 Chevy he was driving late in the evening after leaving Lucas Oil Raceway Park, ran off the road, and struck a utility pole.  Car owner Richie Crampton and Jake Sanders, passengers in the car, suffered undisclosed injuries. 

The key to winning virtual reality drag racing differs significantly from those on the NHRA's Camping World Drag Racing Series; just ask Denso Pro Stock Motorcycle veteran Steve Johnson.

On Friday evening, Johnson secured his second consecutive VRHRA victory at the Thunder in the Desert event at the legendary Beeline Dragway, stopping Angelle Sampey in the final round.

Also scoring victories were first-time series winners Bruno Massel (Quartermax Pro Stock) and Doug Kalitta (McLeod Top Fuel). Inaugural season championship runner-up Alexis Dejoria (TruHarvest Funny Car) and Rickie Smith (Jerry Bickel Race Cars Pro Modified) also secured their first wins of the season.

Auto Club Famoso Raceway management issued a statement on December 16, 2021, confirming the Good Vibrations March Meet in Bakersfield, Ca. has been postponed until May 27 - 30, 2020.

"The Pandemic is causing a new wave of issues with regards to case counts, travel restrictions, business closures and stay at home orders," the statement said.
