"We have been thinking about this plan for a while and it is time we gave these guys and gals a local racing option," noted Brent Cannon, SCEDA director of sales, marketing and competition and a successful drag racer himself who has captured two-NHRA National event Wally's in the Super Comp category. "Opening our organization to these dedicated racers will give them a friendly and affordable place to race and provide the fans with a more exciting show. There is nothing like wheels-up launches from these factory hot rods."

The rules for this new class are quite unique and will provide fair competition to all racers. All participants must be NHRA legal for their classification. Racers who compete in the same class will not race heads-up as traditional NHRA Stock and Super Stock rules mandate. It will be a bracket race. Each car will receive two time trials (time and weather permitting) and qualifying ladders will be based off reaction-time and not performance.

"This is a test program for our series, so we wanted to try something different," said Cannon. "We feel the reaction time qualifying provides some more excitement to this class, and the bracket race format for class competition gives the little guy a good shot at winning rounds. It's not about cubic dollars at SCEDA. We just want everybody to have fun."

As with every SCEDA event there are several other categories for nearly every type of drag car imaginable. From Junior Dragsters to six-second Top Dragsters, a SCEDA event is one the entire family can enjoy. SCEDA volunteers will do everything in their power to ensure all racers and fans receive the maximum return on their ticket cost.
