Factory Street provides an opportunity for factory produced hot rods to race legally and safely on a drag strip. The regulations for Factory Street vehicles rely on the manufacturers unaltered standard safety features of the vehicle to be fully functional.
Now, owners of newer model Corvettes, Camaros, Hellcats and Mustangs along with their foreign counterparts can do battle on the track in a safe and controlled environment instead of on the street. The WDRA encourages all member tracks to welcome these vehicles into their programs to help curtail illegal street racing.
