As the countdown to this weekend’s commencement of the 2025/2026 ANDRA Sportsman Series continues, ANDRA and Ballistic Performance Parts are pleased to announce a new ANDRA Championship Racer Support Program for the Modified Bike and Junior Drag Bike brackets.
The first opportunities for racers to be rewarded under this new program will come this Friday and Saturday (August 29/30), as the 2025/2026 ANDRA Sportsman Series gets underway with Nitro Up North at the Hidden Valley Drag Strip, ahead of Wednesday September 3’s Desert Nationals at the Alice Springs Inland Dragway.
Under the program, the winners and runners-up of Modified Bike and Junior Drag Bike at rounds of the 2025/2026 ANDRA Sportsman Series will be awarded with vouchers from Ballistic Performance Parts, and eventually, other participating program member companies.
To start, Ballistic Performance Parts is offering a $100 voucher for the winner of Modified Bike and a $50 voucher for the runner-up, and it will also reward the winner and runner-up of Junior Drag Bike with $50 and $25 vouchers respectively.
To qualify for the vouchers, racers must carry Racer Program support stickers (which will be supplied) on their bike from the first round of qualifying at each event. The vouchers will be presented at the end-of-event presentations at each event and the recipient will have 12 months to use their voucher.
Ballistic Performance Parts and multi-time ANDRA Champion, Rob Cassar, said he was excited to extend his support to fellow bike racers in the 2025/2026 ANDRA Sportsman Series and hoped to see many other companies get on board with the ANDRA Championship Racer Support Program.
“The more we can support our racers the better and I am so pleased to be able to support the Modified Bike and Junior Drag Bike racers with Ballistic Performance Parts’ involvement in this new ANDRA Championship Racer Support Program,” Cassar said.
“This new program sits alongside the existing ANDRA Contingency Program, and is another great way that companies can get behind ANDRA members.
“For ANDRA members, being eligible for this program is easy – all they need to do is make sure they have the program’s supplied stickers on their bike before they roll out for the first qualifying session of each event and keep them on throughout the event.
“I can’t wait to see how this program unfolds beginning with Nitro Up North and the Desert Nationals, and look forward to welcoming other companies on board.”
ANDRA Chief Executive Officer, Tim McAvaney, welcomed Ballistic Performance Parts’ support.
“Rob Cassar and his Ballistic Performance Parts company have long been passionate members of the ANDRA drag racing community and his support of ANDRA members is well appreciated,” McAvaney said.
“With this new ANDRA Championship Racer Support Program operating alongside our Contingency Program for the ANDRA Sportsman Championship and also our sponsorship opportunities for each championship bracket, there is more ways than ever before for companies to support ANDRA members.
“I greatly encourage all of our members to support those companies who support us as we look to provide fantastic sportsman drag racing at ANDRA tracks around the country.”
