UMDRA is an online association of drag racers. We're an online club. We're a "root for each other" kind of club. Just as many Chevy guys root for bowtie cars, we're rooting for our fellow Snowmobile/Motorcycle powered vehicles and racers.
We will host an annual event where we can all come and race together at the same track, but other than that, we're not trying to build any classes, become promoters, or form into any kind of business entity. Maybe someday that might change, but for now, we'd just like to invite people to come and talk if they're interested in Motorcycle or Snowmobile powered cars. That includes the NHRA sanctioned Junior Comp dragsters because they can also run where we run – in the PRO or SUPER/PRO bracket classes at NHRA and/or IHRA events and because they represent the future of drag racing.
UMDRA.com is a Master site that houses all the others: SnowmobileDragsters.com,
Funnycars.motorcycledragsters.com (the home for Snowmobile/Motorcycle Funny Cars),
MotorcycleDragsters.com, JrCompDragsters.com, and the combined Snowmobile/Motorcycle Dragsters/FunnyCars Forum!
It’s a one stop, see all group of sites where you can talk with fellow members and view the cars that fit into the categories we described. The Web sites were built to showcase the cars that are out there racing on the weekends, promote conversation about how it’s done, and to encourage others to consider this lower cost form of drag racing as an interesting alternative.
Here’s the statement of what we are (kind of a mission statement)
"The United Mini Drag Racers Association (UMDRA) promotes cost effective drag racing with snowmobile or motorcycle powered dragsters and funny cars by encouraging the sharing of ideas and information"
Q - What does the word Mini mean?
A - The word mini is by no mean a reference to the wheelbase or size of your ride. It’s a reference to the power plant - Snow/Moto. Smaller then the big block or small block automotive engines.
Q - What is the word Association mean?
A - An online group of individuals UNITED to promote Snowmobile and Motorcycle dragsters and Funny Cars. We swap and share information & plans to get together for a meet and greet event once a year. We associate with each other online and would hang out with each other at the drag strip. We are not a company or any other form of IRS recognized business entity.
Q - What do we do here online in this forum?
A - Share ideas and information, either by reading or asking questions.
Q - What do we run?
A - Snowmobile or Motorcycle powered dragsters & Funny cars, and snowmobile powered drag bikes.
Q - What do you mean by “Promotes cost effective drag racing”?
A - All of our rides are cost effective. By using these alternative power plants, we can race in NHRA or IHRA bracket racing classes while keeping the high cost of racing down.
