The Pro Drag Racing Championship (PDRC) is an exciting new promotion that will be delivering Professional Championship drag racing categories and events for the National Drag Racing Championship (NDRC).

“Andy (Lopez), Nathan (Prendergast) and the NDRC team, which I have been part of from the beginning, have done a great job uniting the sport and delivering the first season of NDRC around the country. I am absolutely honoured and proud to take an even more significant role in the delivery of NDRC events moving forward” enthused PDRC Promoter Jason Hedges.

The PDRC comprises a Championship category lineup including Pro Alcohol, Pro Mod, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Bike for the 2024-25 season plus the electrifying innovation featuring the worlds quickest and fastest six-cylinders, four-cylinders, and rotaries in the new Pro Import class as an exhibition series to further evolve the Australian Professional drag racing scene.

For the 2024-25 season, the PDRC will be hosting innovative events at Sydney Dragway (NSW) on November 15-16, 2024, The Dragway at the Bend (SA) on February 8-9, 2025 and Sydney Dragway on March 21-22, 2025. These events will feature all the PDRC Professional categories, with their rounds forming part of the NDRC Series in addition to the existing National Drag Racing Championship Events such as the Nitro Champs and season ending Winternationals.

PDRC will be working hand in hand, "one way forward", with the NDRC to deliver world class racing for their valued competitors and fans with this thrilling initiative.

“I travelled with Andy Lopez and his Team in the inaugural NDRC season and the amount of moving parts required to deliver these events that the spectators or racers do not see is simply mind blowing", adds Hedges.

"Whilst I know this is a big financial commitment from myself, I truly believe our sport is on the cusp of great things. Working together “one way forward” as partners we can open all manner of opportunities to ensure sustainability for many years to come.

“Along with the race teams competing in the NDRC Pro Drag Racing Championship, the traveling Competition Team and I will endeavour to deliver the best experience for the racer and fans alike.

"It's time to fill the grandstands and give the fans an unforgettable experience so they leave and become the promoters of our fantastic interactive sport. No other form of motorsport allows fans to be in the pits to watch the teams work, and it’s my goal to inspire the young boy or girl watching the cars and bikes on track and in the pits to one day join our drag racing family."
