Overall, the ill-fated ADRA is a chapter of drag racing history most people would like to forget. As much as we wanted it to be a real deal... it was simply too good to be true. However, the $10,000 to win pro purses brought an incredible field of cars to their first (the beginning of the end) race at Fallon, NV and there were plenty of photographers there to cover the action. Now over 1100 of the best of the best are available to you in hi-res files on CD for just $14.95.

 

Long story short - ADRA (American Drag Racing Association) was a great idea stolen and implemented by the evil minds of slick con men. It's lifespan was slightly longer than a house fly. MANY people lost money and faith in promoters - NOT a new thing. That said... in spite of Chapman and the other idiots behind ADRA, the inaugural event - held on Easter weekend, 2001 (how dumb is that?) - was one hell of a drag race.

Included on the CD are 4 angles of the "2000+ Years of Drag Racing" photo (above) that includes most everybody who was anybody in drag racing for the last 40 years. Don Garlits, Shirley Muldowney, CJ "Pappy" Hart, Steve Gibbs, Larry Sutton, Jon Lundberg, Jim McLennan, John Bradley, Walt Stevens, Bill Dunlap, Dale Pulde, Bob Smith, Ted Gotelli, Bill Alexander, Cloy Fitzgerald, Don Prieto, Mousie Marcellis, Tony Waters and MANY more.

You read the header right - over 1000 high quality (11" wide - suitable for printing) photos from one race! And bonus photos from the "Check Bouncing Nationals" (Cordova) - the second and - for all intent and purpose - last event for ADRA.

Up close - wide angle - Fuelers, Funny Cars, Fuel Altereds and all the class cars right down to the stockers.
