DIALED IN always deliver a great show .
Yost says the WDRA sanction is working out well , and Mooresville and nearby Farmington Dragway worked hard at arranging a schedule that afforded the opportunity to local bracket racers to compete for points at both facilities . “ I had never gone to a Bracket Finals before until we traveled down to South Carolina this year to compete at Union Dragway . I didn ’ t know what to expect , but I had so much fun !” says Yost .
Mooresville only took 20 cars and five Jr . Dragsters , and wound up winning the Bracket Finals by one point . “’ Johnny O ’ from WDRA told me he ’ s never seen a track win the bracket finals with so few entrees ,” smiled Yost .
In addition to the 10 bracket points races in 2024 , Mooresville scheduled tons of other events as well , including alcohol Funny Cars , jet cars , nostalgia nitro , plus the return of the megapopular Southeast Gassers . “ That group hadn ’ t been here in a couple years , and I told them whatever it takes to get them back I wanted to do it ,” says Yost . The event was successful and SEGA immediately gave Mooresville another date in 2025 .
Also visiting Mooresville for multiple gatherings in 2024 is the legendary straight-drive group , Classic Gear Jammers , who ’ s been holding events at Mooresville for many years .
As the season draws to a close , 2025 promises to be a banner year for Mooresville with many updates , expansions , and continuous improvements . DI
