Nitro Funny Car will star at Nitro Jam in 2014

Among the new pieces to the Nitro Jam lineup will be a much anticipated return to traditional drag racing with qualifying and eliminations in the professional nitro classes. Nitro Jam’s star attraction, Nitro Funny Car, will welcome the best racers from across the United States and Canada to test their equipment and driving skill with a points championship and lucrative purse on the line. The nostalgia Nitro Funny Car class is one of the fastest growing drag racing classes in the world with new up-and-coming young drivers going head to head with legends of drag racing past in a throwback to the days when drag racing was real racing, done on the quarter-mile, with everything on the line.

Joining the stars of Nitro Funny Car will be the daredevil riders in Nitro Harley and the incredibly popular and out of control Nitro Altered categories. Rounding out the Nitro Jam lineup will be the fastest girls in drag racing as the Larsen jet car team compete in the only Jet Dragster competition in the country.

Additional classes will be added at select events on the 2014 schedule.
