Mid Atlantic Nostalgia Drag Racers' Association (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
