Welcome to the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia
Drag Racers' Association
What is MANDRA?
We
are a group of friends and racers united for one purpose - Promoting
nostalgia drag racing in the mid-Atlantic region. Our members are as
varied as their cars. They come from all walks of life, but race as
one group. At our races you will find friendship and comradery,
instead of cutthroat competition. Don’t misunderstand - when two
cars pair up at the starting line, the competition is real - each
person wants to win - but it ends at the finish line.
We travel as a group, racing at tracks
throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. Our
group started in January, 1999 with about 15 interested people. Last
year we had over 60 members, with half actively competing. We now
have tracks contacting us for dates on our schedule. Though
difficult at times, we manage to schedule 15 points-earning races in
our season, and several non-points events as well.
Our members receive decals for their
cars, as well as our newsletter, which is published throughout the
year featuring race results, current points standings, and other
current news. We also have a complete line of club merchandise,
including hats, shirts, license plates, and decals.
Our racing is supported by sponsorship
of the points fund and the plaques given to the winner, runner-up,
and the semi-finalists of each race. Race winners also receive a
winner’s decal, and, at certain events, a share of a cash purse. At
the season’s end, we have our annual awards banquet. The top 20
points earners receive cash awards, with special trophies going to
the top 3. The winner, of course, is crowned Champion, and can
proudly wear that title for the next season, as the top points
earner in the most exciting nostalgia drag racing group out there -
MANDRA.
