East Coast 4 Wheel Drive Association Racing
Kempton, PA - August 17, 2008 - Page 2

Since the 80's the EC4WDA has held Jeep races at the Kempton Fairgrounds in Kempton, PA.  The times have changed but the racing is still as good and entertaining as it ever was. 

We paid a visit to the race and took in an afternoon of drag racing.  Off road drag racing is typically a 100 yard strip with a typical timing and light setup found at a street drag strip.  Jeeps were never really built to go fast but it is amazing how fast a Jeep can go in 100 yards.  Stopping is another issue too.

The race was run in a double elimination style starting with the women classes and then men.  Both are run from the lower classes to the higher with some breaks in-between to groom the track.

We have put together an album to capture some of the vehicles and the action throughout the day.
