The PDRA is back in action at the Carolina Showdown presented by ProCharger at Darlington Dragway. It’s the second race of the now-seven-race season, following the East Coast Nationals presented by FuelTech at GALOT Motorsports Park in late May.
The series will conclude sportsman qualifying and go into eliminations today.
PDRA announced earlier this week that a limited number of spectators will be allowed to attend this race. Tickets are available here. Fans watching from afar can tune in to the official event livestream via SpeedVideo.
