PDRA Live Feed Ramps Up in 2016
Quarter-Max Zones Return along with New Special Segments

PITTSBORO, N.C. (March 9, 2016): The creative genius behind the PDRA is
continually birthing new ideas to give fans a more full-bodied experience of
each event. While attending PDRA events gives fans the most dynamic experience
available in professional eighth-mile drag racing, the PDRA Motor Mania Live
Feed gets fans as close as possible in the comfort of their homes, on their
phones, tablets, and anywhere they travel.
With more than 7 million page views in 2015 and a global audience that has
reached over 200 countries, MotorManiaTV.com (MMTV) has set the standard for
streaming live drag racing events in the 21st century. The PDRA teams up with
MMTV to broadcast each event live - an opportunity free to fans across the
globe.
Each broadcast showcases every pass made by a PDRA racer - from Top Junior
Dragster all the way up to Pro Extreme. Every qualifying and elimination run can
be watched in real time. At the end of the PDRA’s inaugural season Quarter-Max
upped the ante by bringing fans the
Quarter-Max Starting |

Line and Top
End Zones. These special segments deliver in-the-moment
commentary straight from racers’ mouths. Fans watch
firsthand as racers triumph in victory, absorb the
heartbreak of defeat, and give feedback on the everyday
struggles of competing in some of the toughest categories
racing has to offer. The Quarter-Max Zones will return for
2016 and promise to be as candid and entertaining as ever.
"We are very proud to be a major supporter of the PDRA,” stated Quater-Max’s

New to the Live Feed in 2016 are special segments with famed Pro Nitrous driver,
Lizzy Musi, and Andy McCoy of Andy McCoy Race Cars both of which will begin with
the Spring Nationals at Rockingham Dragway, April 7-9. In the Musi Minute
presented by Musi Racing Engines, Lizzy will take fans off track and give them a
behind-the-scenes look at the PDRA cast of characters. In the pits, the stands,
or with officials, Lizzy will showcase the PDRA like it’s never been seen
before. Musi is looking forward to her new on-camera role:
"I am pretty excited about being more involved interacting with fans! We are
looking to come up with something different at every event. Everyone at Musi
Racing Engines is thrilled to be on board with the PDRA this year and hoping for
many more."
Andy McCoy Race Cars will present an “Ask the Pros” segment every race in which
McCoy will offer an expert look at anything from chassis function to turbo
performance. Each event, McCoy will choose one fan question to answer on the
Live Feed. Fans can submit questions directly through a button available on the
PDRA home page and members of the champion Pro Boost Pee Dee Fleet team
including Russell Miller, Mike Kopchick and more will answer questions in-depth
from the pits for the ultimate fan interaction.
Andy McCoy Race Cars specializes in the fabrication of high-performance Pro
Modified and Top Sportsman racing components from chassis to competition-ready
vehicles. Andy McCoy combines dedicated craftsmanship with the highest quality
raw materials to fabricate the latest technologies in performance components and
race car chassis for today’s serious drag racers. Every product is made in the
USA and is backed with the highest quality service and support.
“We are excited to participate in the PDRA this year in such an interactive way
by bridging the gap between racing fans and racing teams,” stated McCoy. “The
Andy McCoy Race Cars ‘Ask the Pros’ segment is something we really want to have
fun with this season. It’s a creative way for us to support the PDRA and offer
comprehensive tech advice to those who may not otherwise have access. The entire
Pee Dee Fleet team will take part in it, so there’s nothing we can’t cover.”
In 2015, PDRA averaged 250,000 total views of each race with fans logging in
from 166 countries to watch the beasts of professional eighth-mile drag racing.
Fans enjoyed over 24 millions minutes of the 302 hours of original produced
content last year, both during and after the event.
“We know folks enjoy the Pro Mod shows,” stated MMTV creator, Mark Walters.
“It’s one of our top viewer draws. As our tagline says, ‘Keep watching... we’ll
stream more!’”
