GLENDORA, Calif. (March 24, 2010) – NHRA announced today that it will “unleash” ticket sales in a few weeks for its newest major attraction, NHRA Unleashed, a celebration of pure American horsepower, coming to an NHRA facility near you this summer.
The first of four inaugural NHRA Unleashed events will be held June 11-13 at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, Ga. Tickets for this historic event will go on sale April 3rd. Disrupt/ive Studios, the producers of the hit TV show “PINKS ™”, will produce a television series celebrating every aspect of these exciting events, highlighting the passion and lifestyle of NHRA competitors and fans.

The NHRA Unleashed events will give fans of all makes and models of muscle cars and all things that go fast the ability to enjoy a sensory-overload high-performance weekend. Each NHRA Unleashed event will feature side-by-side doorslammer drag racing, car shows, an autocross, manufacturers’ midway, dyno, swap meets, kids zone and much more. All of the activities will celebrate the love affair that young and old hot-rodding enthusiasts have with the car culture.

Pro Mod competitors will be eligible to earn grade points towards entry into the Get Screened America NHRA Pro Mod Series. Grade points will be issued to competitors holding a valid Pro Mod license and active NHRA membership. All classes that require an NHRA competition license should be NHRA members with the proper certifications. It is recommended that all other classes have a NHRA competition license and be NHRA members.
