It is with great pride that I inform you that on this day in history, January 14th, 2010, the NEDRA Board of Directors unanamously
approved Electric Junior Dragster classes. This will enable kids to also set NEDRA World Records. This has been in the works for
seven long years now since I first proposed it in 2003. This was after the NHRA had approved the safety regulations that Bill Dube
wrote. The only problem was that the NHRA would not allow the Electric Juniors to race head to head with their gas counterparts.
Since the NHRA recently reversed this decision, due to the tireles efforts of Brent and Kent Singleton lobbying the NHRA, it is now
prime time for this class structure to take place. Classes are based on age groups just as the gas NHRA ones. In addition we also
divded them by voltage divisions just like NEDRA does. All the NHRA safety regulations apply. The new class structure will soon be
posted on the NEDRA site for all to look at and comment on. After 30 days they will take effect. This is indeed a very historic day
in NEDRA history!
