PDRA UNVEILS 2015 TOUR RACING
SCHEDULE & HOST RACE TRACKS/MARKETS
The Professional Drag Racers
Association has made it clear that it
is here to stay. A successful
inaugural season is nearly complete
and already excitement is building for
2015. Notable changes from the 2014
schedule include an additional two
events, for a total of ten races, and
five new tracks joining the PDRA team.
The PDRA will visit some of the
nation’s best markets for eighth-mile
door car racing including Maryland
International Raceway and Texas
Motorplex, as well as a stop at the
completely overhauled GALOT
Motorsports Park. The PDRA plans to
continue their Friday/Saturday event
format.
The sophomore tour will begin at Texas
Motorplex in Ennis, Tx. March 20-21.
April 10-12 the PDRA will return to
Rockingham Dragway, home to some of
the most memorable moments in
professional eighth mile racing. After
this the PDRA heads west during the
first weekend of May to
Thunder Road Raceway in Shreveport,
La. The final weekend in May will see
a stop at Gateway Raceway in St.
Louis, Mo. The tour will then reach
its halfway point on June 26-27 at US
131 Motorsports Park in Martin, Mich.

Budds Creek, Md. has often been
regarded as one of the top doorslammer
facilities in the country. The PDRA
will bring their unique brand of
eighth-mile action to Maryland
International Raceway, July 17-18.
Then the tour will make its second
annual stop at Memphis International
Raceway on August 21-22. One of the
highlights of the tour, Dragstock,
will be featured at the reconstructed
GALOT Motorsports Park on its familiar
date of September 11-13. From there
the PDRA returns to one of the
nation’s fastest growing facilities -
Tulsa Raceway Park on October 2-3. The
sophomore tour will conclude as the
inaugural tour did, at Virginia
Motorsports Park near Richmond, Va. on
October 23-24.
“We worked hard to produce a schedule
that would benefit our teams, sponsors
and fans, as well as each of the
tracks we will visit,” expounded PDRA
Race Director, Bob Harris. “We look
forward to visiting new tracks and
welcome back many of the places we
visited this year. I believe this
schedule is just what we need to
continue moving forward as the world’s
premier eighth-mile drag racing
organization.”
Also in the works, a new points
structure to be unveiled later this
year. Stay tuned to
