The premier gasser drag racing of the Southeast Gassers Association drives forward into the heart of Dixie for race two of 2026. It has been almost five years since the last SEGA championship race was contested in the state of Alabama. A first-ever visit to Holiday Raceway in Woodstock, AL, will host the SEGA action that is The Bama Brawl presented by Superior Performance Transmissions.
The last SEGA visit to Alabama was at Lassiter Mountain Dragway. This time, Holiday Raceway will play host. It is a long-awaited inaugural event as the weather hindered visiting the location in 2025. Though the weather didn’t cooperate last year, Holiday Raceway itself fits nicely into the line-up of SEGA-visited tracks. The dragstrip has a history dating back to 1968 and is a family-owned and operated facility. With SEGA at Holiday Raceway, fans will be able to enjoy a nostalgic gasser holiday at the dragstrip.
NASCAR had the Allisons, Bonnett, and Farmer making up their Alabama Gang. SEGA is no different, having its own Bama Bunch, who are some of the toughest and winningest competitors in gasser competition. Dean, Oden, and Rainwater are some of the fiercest and feared racers in SEGA with numerous championships to their credit. From Super Stock to A/Gas, in each SEGA championship category, Alabama is represented. The Bama Bunch intends to hold the line in their home state.
The Bama Brawl for 2026 will ring the bell for action on Friday at 5:00 PM Central with a SEGA-only test and tune (gates open at 4 PM CT – $20 admission). Saturday has qualifying scheduled for 1:00 PM Central with championship eliminations to follow (gates open at 11 AM CT – $25 admission – $35 weekend pass). Southeast Gassers Association competition will go through heads-up eliminations to the point of crowned event champions during an authentic 1960s racing experience. Can the Bama Bunch sweep all the championship categories? Or do out-of-state SEGA competitors claim the prize of event champion at this inaugural Holiday Raceway event?
