SouthWest Jr. Dragster Series 2021 Preview
The SouthWest Jr. Dragster Series crowns the 2020 Champions and announces 2021 schedule with new race locations.
The SouthWest Jr. Dragster Series began in 2010 as a small race series based in Texas, catering to the Outlaw 330 racers. In 2011 the series expanded from one outlaw class to nine classes for a five race series for the entire Junior Dragster racing community. These include three classes of index racing (12.90, 8.90, and 7.90), three age group bracket classes (8-9, 10-12, and 13-17), Quick 16, Bracket 330, and the All Run Big Money Bracket class. All of the classes accumulate points and awards are handed out at the end of the season banquet.
