About NDRA The NDRA (NOPI Drag Racing Association) is the hottest and most innovative sport-compact drag racing series. The country's top drag racers are also competing for more than $140,000 in prize money and for the Xbox Cup, the year-end trophy awarded to the top points winner of the series. The NDRA combines the highest payouts per event in professional drag racing with the lifestyle of the sport-compact scene, including the appeal of swimsuit competitions, the adrenaline-rush of burnout contests and the thrill of live entertainment. The NDRA was the collaboration of NOPI executives after they saw a high interest from the company's young customers for something more out of the NOPI NATIONALS Motorsports Supershow.
