The World Drag Racing Alliance (WDRA) will introduce a new class for motorcycle and sled competitors as part of the Summit Sportsman Drag Racing Series (SSDRS) program in 2024. This expansion allows WDRA member tracks to crown a motorcycle or sled track champion, who will then represent them at the WDRA Summit World Championship presented by Suncoast Performance at Montgomery International Dragway on October 24-26, 2024.
Skooter Peaco of WDRA expressed enthusiasm for the growth seen in the second season of the organization.
“We’ve built a strong foundation during our first season and it’s incredible to see the growth coming into year two,” Peaco said. “A large number of tracks have made the switch to WDRA for 2024 and a large percentage have a motorcycle or sled program already in place, while some tracks run a mixed program. We have listened to the feedback from our racers and member tracks and are excited to add this new category to our Summit Sportsman Drag Racing Series where we will ultimately crown a WDRA Summit Motorcycle World Champion.”
Every racer that qualifies for the WDRA Summit World Championship presented by Suncoast Performance will have the opportunity to compete in a Free Friday $5K gamblers race for their respective class (Box, No Box, Sportsman, Junior Dragster, and Motorcycle) in addition to receiving tow money to help with travel expenses. The racer who earns the 2024 WDRA Summit Motorcycle World Champion title will also earn $5,000 cash, the WDRA Rod trophy, and a WDRA Champion Card redeemable during the 2025 season.
Competitors can get a jump start on their winning season by registering for the 2024 Sportsman Drag Racing Series through the online WDRA licensing system at www.racewdra.com/license.
