Dateline: January 12, 1999 - The World Hot Rod Association (WHRA)
[link lost in import] will officially begin its first season with a staff
of full-time
professionals at its Tampa, Florida headquarters, along with officials
around the world. The 1st
WHRA season will start a legacy of unprecedented ***Space Drag Racing

racing, nor will you have to have a million dollars to drive a Top Fuel
Dragster!
Finally, the Technology of the INTERNET and Drag Racing Simulation
Software allows
"YOU" to strap yourself in your favorite racecar and compete against the
BIG DOGS! The on-line racing venue consists of over 50% real race car
drivers from the NHRA T/F, IHRA A/D to the sportsman classes of both
leagues.
