This event will go down in history as the biggest Funny Car race of the century with a growing list of pre-entries now totaling 55 floppers! The current mark to beat for most funny cars on the property this century, verified by drag racing statistician Bret Kepner, is 53 from the 2005 World Finals in Pomona. With its appealing \u2018run whatcha\u2019 brung\u2019 format the Funny Car Chaos series will welcome nostalgia, modern, nitro, alcohol, even twin turbo and nitrous assisted funny cars from coast to coast converge on Texas for this record setting weekend.\u00a0 A twenty-four car field will be qualified for the main event, split into A-B-C fields of eight on a three round elimination ladder. Total prize money for this event has been increased to over $35,000. Additional support from Red Line Shirt Club, Napa Auto Parts of Waxahachie, Mears Mazda Volvo, Entech Oil and Best of Texas Barbeque Sauce have made these increased guaranteed payouts possible for the Chaos racers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSometimes I just have to step back and say \u2018wow\u2019. Four years ago, when we held Funny Car Chaos 1.0 I would have never believed we\u2019d be seeing the car counts, racer support and spectator excitement for this series that we are today. With that support, we\u2019ve been able to build on the same platform we started from at the beginning where the number one rule is \u2018have fun\u2019. This is a grassroots, low drama, big fun, family type atmosphere that is showcasing the most popular drag racing vehicles in history, funny cars! We\u2019re in town to put on a show for the fans, period. I grew up a kid in the stands at the Motorplex, watching Dean Skuza, K.C. Spurlock and Kenji Okazaki pound the ground in their fuel floppers in front of capacity crowds. Fast forward twenty five years and here we are hosting what will likely become the largest funny car race of the century at the place where my drag racing addiction was born courtesy of my father and grandfather, we\u2019re very excited to say the least. The mid-west was lacking a competition style format that appealed to the masses and Funny Car Chaos has put floppers back on the map and we\u2019re ready to race,\u201d says series creator Chris Graves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Over seventy funny car teams from across the United States have now competed in at least one of the twenty one FCC events that have been contested since the fall of 2017. Over fifty teams joined the action in the pandemic plagued 2020 season. Coming into the 2021 campaign, defending two-time Funny Car Chaos World Champion Ken Singleton will have a big target on his back as the winningest driver in the series. The competition will be stiff for Singleton and company as funny car teams across the nation set eyes on the Chaos winners circle this season. \u201cTeaming up with Funny Chaos for the inaugural \u2018Nitro Madness\u2019 event is like a dream come true for me. Since my first day with Texas Motorplex, I have wanted a massive funny car show like Billy Meyer had here back in the day. The stories of Orange County with 64, the old photos of the cars lined down the track, the drivers with personalities bigger than life, dry hops and back up girls. It\u2019s all history now, but Chaos brings it back and we are about to rewrite the history books with one of the biggest, baddest funny car events in history. We\u2019ve got concerts and live music every night, this is going to rock!\u201d says Andy Carter, Texas Motorplex General Manager.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Nitro Madness at the Motorplex\u2019 doesn\u2019t only offer a record setting field of floppers, but also features a full field of winged warriors from the Outlaw Fuel Altered Association, who are competing in their historic 25th<\/sup> Anniversary season. Capping off the entertainment will be the Dirty South Gassers, T.D.R.A. nostalgia drag racing series and heads-up Old School Backhalf series. More history is on tap as the Farris Racing \u2018War Wagon\u2019 AA\/Fuel Altered team and driver Kebin Kinsley will attempt to officially break the quarter mile elapsed time and mile per hour records. But wait, there\u2019s more! Live music both Thursday and Friday night, nitro powered margarita machines and flame throwing jet dragster action is also on the bill. Two days of Chaos, we can guarantee that!
