Fight Hard MMA Acquires American Drag Racing League

(Lake St. Louis, MO USA) — November 21, 2012— Officials from Fight Hard MMA announced today that it has acquired the American Drag Racing League, LLC (ADRL) from Sheikh Khalid Al-Thani of Qatar. “The last two years have been an exciting yet difficult time for our family,” said Fight Hard MMA President Jessica Nowling, wife of ADRL co-founder and former President Kenny Nowling. “We have enjoyed the challenge of building a new company and have met a lot of great people, but there has definitely been something missing. Drag racing has been a part of our entire life together and we had no idea that we would miss it so much.”

“First and foremost I want to thank Sheikh Khalid for everything that he has done, not just for the ADRL, but for the entire sport of drag racing,” said Kenny. “I also want to thank Tim and Diane McAmis for their tireless efforts in running the ADRL for the past two years. No one knows better than Jessica and I the immense amount of time and sacrifice that is required to run the ADRL. Every member of the ADRL family owes them and their staff a debt of gratitude.”

The ADRL has scheduled a press conference for this Friday, November 30 at the Performance Racing Industry trade show in Orlando, Fla. during which it plans to make several major announcements.

No.

Hey Bret, what are you guys doing to bring the NA cars closer to the boosted cars? Although there are some NA cars that can run high 5's to the 1/8th, most will not and thats a far cry from 70's. I would love to see more cars and more parity in the class along with better diversity. I know there will be more Camaro's offer a few more cars but the NA cars need a place to play as well.

Would a tenth or two tenths staggered pro tree ever be considered?

Point series coming in 2013.

jmcarter · 11-30-2012, 04:33 PM

ADRL released their 2013 schedule, it may be an oversight but lists all categories but Supercar. Or possibly remains as a "special" class? Bret?

Bret Kepner · 11-30-2012, 04:43 PM

I never said the class would be contested in the ADRL. LOL!

Festus · 11-30-2012, 08:15 PM

It's going to be part of the XDRL.

See Yellow Bullet Pro Modified forum for details.

X-TECH MAN · 12-01-2012, 11:03 AM

Its STILL a looser no mater where its run !

boster · 12-01-2012, 12:40 PM

Heads up racing wont work unless it's a pro class and you get paid money . Cars cost 100k, trick motors run 40K , plus all the other expenses who wants to race heads up for free ?

Somebody put up 10k per race to the winner and 5k to r/u and 50k to the champion at the end of the season and guys will show up to race .

And you need same blowers , cubic inches and 3spd trans for every car . Pump them for ci and ck tb size everything else is legal and let them race .

Any body got 200k laying around to fund it ?

Bret get a money sponsor for XDRL factory cars
