PDRA Gears Up for World Finals and More

PITTSBORO, NC – In just one month the Professional Drag Racers Association will close out their sophomore season and crown their second round of World Champions at the PDRA World Finals presented by Mel Bush Motorsports. Throughout this year, hundreds of teams have vied for a PDRA event title, but only a few have earned the right to compete for World Championship bragging rights. As momentum from the PDRA’s stellar opening season carried into 2015, teams continued to make record-breaking runs, fan counts increased and partnerships with some of the best names in the industry grew.

“We expect nothing more than to continue our growth trends on into 2016,” stated PDRA Race Director Bob Harris. “We were affected by Mother Nature at most of our events this year, but even despite that we have had a great season and look forward to crowning our Champions in a few short weeks.”

The World Finals will be held at Virginia Motorsports Park, October 22-24. Discounted tickets and a full event schedule are available at www.pdra660.com.

“The PDRA ownership and management met recently to solidify plans for 2016,” Harris added. “We have great announcements to make at the PRI Show that I think the racers are really going to like.”

Harris went on to say that the PDRA will operate a nine event schedule in 2016. The organization will release the complete schedule in the coming weeks and plans further announcements during a press conference at the PRI Show. The PDRA Awards Banquet will also be held in conjunction with the PRI Show, Saturday, December 12 at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown Hotel. Details will be available soon on the website.

“It’s really been an incredible year,” continued Harris. “We’ve got a great staff, owners who are committed and passionate, and the best drag racing show in the country. We can’t wait to put the final exclamation point on the season by crowning our Champions. Then it’s time to get ready for next year!”
