US 13 Dragway Ready To Kick-Off Exciting 2021 Season

After a season unlike any other in 2020, the world of racing is ready to return to a sense of normalcy in 2021. March 7^th that normalcy will return with the the start of the 2021 Season. March will see a string of Test and Tunes for all cars on the 7^th, 14^th, 21^st, and 28^th, with the 28^th Test & Tune including an All Run Gamblers race.

April will see the start of the 2021 points series with the first IHRA Summit Super Series race on the 4^th of the month. After getting one week of bracket racing under their belts, racers will gear up on the 10^th and 11^th for the first 2 day show of the year. The wildly popular $3,000* to win Top ET and $1,000* to win Mod ET IHRA & SBRA Ultimate Points Series from 2020 is returning in 2021! Bracket racers will have another chance to compete on the 18^th in another IHRA Summit Super Series event before taking a hiatus for a few weeks. We will close out the month on April 24^th, (April 25^th Rain Date) and it will the No Time and Grudge Racers time to shine with the return of the Get Busy Grudge Fest Test and Tune presented by 410 Grudge Dreams.

A busy month of May will kick off on 2 wheels as the Outten Brothers Home Furnishings Bike Brawl returns for its 7^th year, and this year it will become its own day as no other bracket racing will take place except for those on 2 wheels! However, there will still be an opportunity for those not on 2 wheels to participate that day as there will be an open test and tune for all types of cars and bikes during the event. The first Friday Night Test and Tune will kick off on the 7^th, and this year we will be mixing things up during the test and tunes. For May 7^th we will have a test and tune that allows racers to come test, but only those who run on a Slick or Drag Radial tire, on these nights we will not be allowing those with â€œhardâ€? treaded tires to participate allowing racers an opportunity to have track time with the track in optimal condition. The 302 Nation Cash Days will also be apart of the Test and Tune on the 7^th and give the fastest No Time and Grudge racers a chance at glory! As is tradition at US 13 Dragway, we will be closed on May 9^th in honor of Motherâ€™s Day. May 12^th we will be back with our second test and tune of the year, and this one will be the traditional method that everyone has come to know and love over the years at US 13! A new addition for this night will be the Street Car Showdown class that will give true â€œstreet carsâ€? a chance to compete in a No Time division. Cars must be registered, tagged, and insured, interior must appear factory and not be gutted, and must included working air conditioning. The IHRA Summit Super Series returns on May 16^th giving racers time to get geared up for one of the biggest annual events of the year. May 22^nd will be the return of the Infamous â€œJerry Kettermanâ€™s Super Bad 8â€? with $5,000 to win for Top ET and $1,000* to win Mod ET for the IHRA & SBRA Ultimate Points Series! A new format will be used on this day as the only classes competing will be those of Top ET, Mod ET, and Junior Dragsters. May 23^rdwe will have the second day of the IHRA & SBRA Ultimate Points Series with Top ET paying $3,000* to win and Mod ET paying $1,000* to win. All of our normal weekly classes will rejoin us on Sunday with the exception of N/T Testing.

June will kick off with our second open Test and Tune of the season plus the return of the Street Car Showdown on the 2^nd of the month.

Friday Night bracket racing returns to close out the month with the IHRA Summit Super Series on July 30^th.

August will keep Friday night racing action rolling as we highlight the IHRA Summit Super Series events on the 6^th, 13^th, and 20^th of the month. The 302 Nation Cash Days and â€œRacersâ€? test and tune (Slicks and Drag Radials only, no hard tires) returns for its final Wednesday night of the summer on August 11^th. After finishing up Friday night bracket racing on August 20^th, we will turn our attention back to â€œSundayâ€™sâ€? starting with the weekend of August 28^thand 29^th. The Raymond E.

The final â€œOpenâ€? test and tune and Street Car Showdown of the year will take place on Wednesday, September 8^th. The annual Fast Ford show returns to center stage on Sunday, September 12^th.
