In a joint venture with the MWDRS and J&A Service, Alcohol Funny Car has been revamped to bring in more racers using the following structure:

Entry fee reduced to $500 includes car, driver, 4 crew, pit cart, and pit vehicle.

Both MWDRS series founder Keith Haney and J&A Service owners Jim & Annie Whiteley have been in constant talks this winter to provide a better structure for racers to race with the series.

“A big benefit to racing with the MWDRS is being able to arrive Friday and be home by Sunday. That cuts down on travel expenses as far hotels as well as a lot of our guys have other jobs and families. These racers are all business owners and have to be able to focus on their companies in order to enjoy racing,” states Event Director Ellen Eschenbacher.

The MWDRS also benefits from the partnership with FloRacing to stream all events in their entirety to the vast audience of subscribers. This unique partnership allows MWDRS to do in-pit interviews, highlighting both drivers and sponsors.

The first event of the 2024 season kicks off in Ferris, Texas, at Xtreme Raceway Park, March 15-16, 2024 where the AFC class made its series debut over four yeas ago.
