Event Preview: The PDRA East Coast Nationals

20160910_175027

The PDRA follows its amazing season kickoff with a stop at the GALOT Motorsports Park for the East Coast Nationals. This event is promising to be nothing but nonstop action that will feature lots of high-horsepower machines. The fans are going to be treated to several categories of Pro Mods, jet cars, and much more when the racing kicks off March 30 through April 1st. All of this racing action will be broadcast across the globe right here on SpeedVideo.com from GALOT Motorsports Park!

The fastest doorslammers in the world will feel right at home when they roll into the state-of-the-art GALOT Motorsports Park facility for the first of two visits in 2017. Racers love the 1,000 feet of concrete surface, along with the heated and cooled starting line that lets them put on a show for the fans. Last year at the PDRA’s inaugural event at the track, over 20,000 spectators packed the stands to catch all of the action.

To make things even more exciting for the East Coast Nationals, the PDRA is pulling out all the stops and bringing in some extra action for the fans. The supercharged AA/Gassers Of America will be on the track making passes during the weekend. These period-correct machines are quick, wild, and unpredictable, so you never know what will happen. The Blazing Angel jet car will also be on the property laying down some 300 mph passes in the quarter mile for the fans to enjoy.

The Pro Nitrous rivalries will be on full display at the East Coast Nationals as the competitors battle to see who will come out of this event with the points lead. Jay Cox in “The Pumpkin”, Tommy Franklin in the “Jungle Rat”, and Lizzi Musi in “King Kong” will all be going head-to-head for class supremacy. These racers will also be participating in the Friday Night Grudge Races, where the trash talk is huge and the action is intense!

The racing action at the East Coast Nationals will also feature the PDRA’s other great professional classes, including Pro Extreme, Pro Boost, Extreme Pro Stock, and Pro Extreme Motorcycle. The sportsman stars will also be on full display in the Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, Pro Jr. Dragster, Top Jr. Dragster, Outlaw 632, and Bracket Bash!

The PDRA puts on a great show and the East Coast Nationals will have something for every fan and racer alike. If you can’t make it to the world-class GALOT Motorsports Park to see this event in person, SpeedVideo.com has you covered. All of the great racing action will be broadcast LIVE right here so you can cheer on your favorite team. This event is brought to you by  presenting sponsor Royal Purple, along with Chassis Engineering, Jerry Bickel Racecars, Edelbrock,  ATI Performance Products, and Goodguys Rod & Custom Association.
