Thank you for stopping by the official Southwest Junior Fuel Association website. Our goal is to provide a nostalgia style heads up drag racing event to bring back the feeling of the good old days of the wonderful world of drag racing. Our circuit is the only place in the southwest you will find front motored junior fuel dragsters in action!
We currently have 25+ active teams and interest in the SWJFA series continues to grow. Many of our members are original junior fuel drivers from the past that are still racing on the strip today. All of our teams are professional from the word go, not only in appearance, but attitude. Each car is required to have a (NHRA or IHRA) chassis certification along with each driver having a current competition license. Our focus is on giving the spectators and tracks the best show possible and having fun!
Heads-Up! Old School! Front Engine Nostalgia Drag Racing!
Marshall & Brady Battle In Denton
The Smiley’s Racing Products Southwest Junior Fuel Association hosted their third event of the season at North Star Dragway in Denton, Texas. Points leader and most recent winner Ricky Marshall entered the event with an undefeated round record and looked to keep his hot streak alive but had a tough road ahead with a total of twelve teams ready to put on a show and battle for position.

The qualifying rounds went smoothly and after two completed sessions, Ricky Marshall claimed his third straight pole of the season with a stout 4.59 pass at 149 mph. The number two and three qualifying positions were occupied by two of the series’ youngest members, Brandon Lewis and Tera Wendland.

In the final, the cars crept into the beams and at the flash of amber, Brady was off the line first. By half track Marshall had closed the gap and pulled ahead to take the win at the stripe with low elapsed time of eliminations, a 4.59 at 149 mph to take out Brady’s 4.83 at 138 mph.

Eleven cars made the trip to entertain nostalgia drag racing enthusiasts on a typical hot May afternoon in Texas. After a season opener that was cut short due to time constraints, the S.W.J.F.A teams were looking forward to a full day of drag racing and crowing the first official winner of the season.

In the final, Muncy was hungry for a starting line advantage and he got a big one as the cars left the line, with Muncy’s .037 to Marshall’s .277. The cars were neck and neck at the eighth mile but Marshall’s horsepower pulled ahead and his strong 7.37 at 166 mph took the win over Muncy’s 8.22 at 159 mph.
