AHDRA headquarters has announced plans to title the 2006 event in Richmond, VA, after the late Jim McClure.

The S & S Jim McClure Nationals presented by Drag Specialties will be held on September 23-24 at Richmond International Raceway Virginia Motorsports Park.

McClure, a native of Williamsburg, VA, was a 19-time champion in drag racing with nine of those championships with the AHDRA sanction. Known to many as "Da Judge", he passed away in 2004 following complications with his heart.

Jim's wife, Phyllis, continues to be very much involved in the drag racing scene. When contacted about the naming of the event, she expressed her support in keeping Jim's name in front of the many friends and fans who loved and respected him so deeply.

Along with participating sponsors S & S Cycle and Drag Specialties, AHDRA is honored to have Jim McClure's memory instilled in this event.

AHDRA's Screamin' Eagle Performance Parts Championship Series will host 14 events across the United States in 2006 and will offer 15 classes of competition.
