Springfield, IL – The World Drag Racing Alliance (WDRA) proudly announces the addition of the cutting-edge Street Legal Dragway to its esteemed member track family. Spearheaded by visionary Andy Marocco, this brand-new “street tire only” 330-foot drag racing facility is located at the Southern California Fairgrounds in Perris, California. Street Legal Dragway aims to provide a safe and legal platform for regional street car enthusiasts to unleash their horsepower and compete.
Illegal street racing remains a persistent nationwide concern, and WDRA saw an opportunity to address the issue head-on by partnering with Andy on his revolutionary project. Jon O’Neal, representative of WDRA, expressed, “Working with Andy on this endeavor is not just an acknowledgment of the illegal street racing problem—it’s an actionable solution. Street Legal Dragway’s concept of a nationally recognized and sanctioned short track format (330 ft) presents a scalable model that can be readily adopted across the country, making a significant impact in curbing illegal street racing. We believe this is a blueprint for others to follow.”
Andy Marocco, the driving force behind Street Legal Dragway, shared his excitement, “This idea has been years in the making, and we are thrilled to receive support from the State of California and the Riverside County Sheriff to bring our vision to life. WDRA’s recognition and sanctioning of our track are invaluable, providing guidance in running our race events successfully.”
Scheduled to open in late summer 2023, Street Legal Dragway finds itself strategically situated in the heart of Southern California, with a vast population of over 20 million people, and a mere 70 miles away from Los Angeles, serving multiple counties.
The impact of Street Legal Dragway extends far beyond its immediate vicinity, and its commitment to combating illegal street racing aligns perfectly with WDRA’s mission to promote responsible and thrilling drag racing experiences.
