SCEDA History
SCEDA started out
back in the early 1970's as the Southern California Econo Dragster
Association. SCEDA was comprised of approximately 50 members who raced
a variety of "Competition Eliminator" type vehicles such as front and
rear engine dragsters, altereds, street roadsters and funny cars. SCEDA
was the "economical" alternative to NHRA's Competition Eliminator class,
hence the term Econo was used in our name.
As SCEDA evolved into the Southern California Drag Racing Association,
most of our members raced open wheeled dragsters. Today, our style of
handicap E.T. racing follows most closely to the National Hot Rod
Association's Super Pro, Pro, and Junior Dragster classifications and is open to any vehicle
running between 6.50 and 13.99 in “Meziere Electronics”, 7.50 to 21.99
in” Mickey Thompson Performance Tires and Wheelsl” No-E. Our “Terminator
Blocks, Clutches, and Accessories” Junior Dragster program is designed to take the kids and turn them
into championship drag racers at what ever level of competition they
desire.
While the racing in SCEDA is quite intense and competitive, our ideals
have always been to retain the family, spirit of friendship and mutual
support.
