The SouthWest Jr. Dragster Series 2012 season is upon us. It has been an exciting winter and the beginning of the New Year has brought a new format, new classes, new track partners, and generous new sponsors.

 

What we tried to do over the winter was determine where we had gaps in our program and how we could change the series to fill those gaps. One of the things that we noticed was that we have a great racer’s appreciation party every Saturday night, but the racing was going on into the night and no one was able to enjoy it. To solve that issue we moved the classes around a bit. We hope to be able to be done on Saturday evening by 6pm, start the awards ceremony at that time, and be completed by 7pm. This way we can all enjoy the evening with friends, new and old, and get a little rest before starting up Sunday morning.

We have added two new Trophy Classes to the program as well. One will be ran on Saturday and the other on Sunday. These classes were created in hopes of attracting local racers that may be wanting to get their feet wet with the series and don’t want to make a full weekend commitment.

 

We are very excited to have two new track partners for the 2012 season. The series will make its debut at Little River Dragway in Holland, Texas and Lonsetar Motorsports Park in Sealy, Texas. These two tracks have great racing history in the Texas and surrounding areas.

 

The SouthWest Jr. Dragster Series has also inked full time sponsorships with several new marketing partners.
