2012 drag racing schedule features full lineup of events

The 2012 season is the fourth year for the three-race Muscle Car Series. The "fast five" classes continue to draw great crowds and entertain fans with their incredible horsepower and speeds. The series will be featured during the same three events this year: the 4th Annual Street Car Showdown (May 25-27), the 26th Annual NAPA Auto Parts Show & Go (July 6-8) and the 24th Annual Muscle Car Shootout (Aug. 31-Sept. 2). The Pro Outlaw and Outlaw cars can top 200 mph in the quarter mile and get down the track in 6-7 seconds.

The drag racing schedule is anchored by the 31st Annual Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals. The best and fastest drivers in the world will descend on BIR Aug. 16-19 to slug it out for valuable Full Throttle Drag Racing Series points.

Thunder at the Lakes NHRA Divisional Drag Race is a great chance to see the top Sportsman drag racers in the Midwest as they compete for the chance at a national title.

BIR’s Bracket Drag Racing Series highlights amateur drag racers who will have six weekends to battle for series points, prize money and possibly a series championship at the end of the season.

The Wednesday Night Drags – Street Legal Style program has nine dates on the calendar again this year. Starting at 5 p.m., and going until dusk, the Wednesday program is for anyone who wants to run their street-legal car, pickup or motorcycle down the drag strip, using the light tree, burn-out box and scoreboard.
