IMG_3358

The New Year is here, so it’s time to get some fire in the pipes and light up a new racing season! Each year since 2005, the U.S. Street Nationals has been held at Bradenton Motorsports Park, and serves as the first big heads-up race of the season. Racers and spectators from all over the world will be flocking to Bradenton, Florida on January 27-29th to see all the racing action. If you can’t make the trip to BMP for the U.S. Street Nationals don’t fret, as SpeedVideo.com will be broadcasting the event right here from start to finish!

One of the best things about the U.S. Street Nationals is that this race allows teams to get back on the track during the winter months and gain an early start to their preparations for the coming year. This unique timing of the event helps to pack the pits with racers who normally don’t travel this far south, but want to get their racing season started early. The U.S. Street Nationals has always been since it’s debut an event where racers and fans can experience great racing action early in the year.

During what’s considered the outlaw drag racing world’s winter warm-up, the level of racing hardware on display is staggering. Racers will use this event as a chance to test their newest equipment for the first time on the track. There will also be lots of new cars making their debut in the Pro Mod and radial tire classes. The fast-growing Limited Drag Radial class will be making its second appearance at the U.S. Street Nationals in 2017, and top racers like Scott Husted and Frank Mewshaw have already confirmed they will be in attendance for the first LDR race of 2017.
