PDRA Live
Feed Continues to Bring Excitement and Inside Stories
PITTSBORO, N.C. (January 21, 2017): Online viewing of drag
races has transformed a major aspect of the sport,
exponentially expanding the marketing reach. The
Professional Drag Racers Association has always taken
advantage of streaming events live, but refuses to stop
there. Every PDRA live stream features candid interviews
with racers and fans that gives viewers a
behind-the-scenes look. It’s one of the easiest ways for
fans and followers to get to know the PDRA story first
hand, despite any distance to the event.
All eight 2017 PDRA events will be streamed live via Speed
Video. Speed Video, a division of Power Automedia, will
deliver all the PDRA action in high definition with
multi-camera angles.
New this season, Jerry Bickel Race Cars brings a special
feature to the live feed, the JBRC Showcase. Each live
feed segment the PDRA announcing team will shine a
spotlight on one of the newest Bickels machines to join
the PDRA ranks. The car and driver will be picked by PDRA
staff members. The chosen team will receive a plaque
signed by Bickel himself, as well as an on-air showcase of
the car.
As the “one stop chassis shop” JBRC is known for quality
race cars that deliver. PDRA is home to many Bickel cars
driven by big names such as Tommy Frankin, Terry Leggett,
Lizzy Musi and the entire GALOT Motorsports team. Several
drivers are slated to debut new JBRC rides this season
including Jason Harris, Jim Sackuvich, John Camp and
Stevie Jackson. Look for other new debuts during the JBRC
Showcase.

JBRC has also stepped up to
sponsor the entire Speed Video broadcast for two events, as well as
maintain an associate sponsorship of the broadcast throughout the season.
The Quarter-Max Top End Zone joined the PDRA Live Feed at the end of the
series’ inaugural year. It was the first official interview segment for
the streamed events, catching drivers’ reactions immediately after they
exited the race car. What was an instant hit with viewers will continue
into 2017 thanks to the folks at Quarter-Max.
Last year the PDRA debuted two new segments, ‘Ask the Pros’ and the ‘Musi
Minute’. Ask the Pros features Andy McCoy from Andy McCoy Race Cars and
the Miller family-owned Pee Dee Fleet team. Fans submit questions that
McCoy or one of the Pee Dee Fleet team members answers live. Questions
thus far have varied from novice to expert and covered a wide range of
drag racing knowledge. This popular live feed feature will be back and
better than ever in 2017. The Musi Minute will feature greater fan
interaction this season. Pro Nitrous driver and President of Musi Racing
Engines, Lizzy Musi, will continue her part in the Musi Minute, while
giving PDRA fans an on-camera chance at each event, as well.
Tune in to the Speed Video-produced Live Feed for the PDRA season opener,
the Southern Extreme Nationals, at South Georgia Motorsports Park, March
9-11.
