The first ever Ladies Only No Prep Class will be part of the Anarchy No Prep event scheduled to take place June 8th at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, Wisconsin. To be run in a “blind bracket” format, this will be the first race of its kind where women compete against each other on a non-prepped race surface.

The 2nd Annual Car Chix Battle of the Sexes will return to Great Lakes Dragaway on June 22nd. Featuring an epic men vs. women showdown at its conclusion, the Ladies Only Bracket Race will be run in two ET based categories, with a run-off for overall Ladies winner. A Mens’ Only Bracket Class has the guys competing against each other to determine its winner. The winner of each category then go on to the finals to determine the ultimate Winner of Battle of the Sexes. New for 2019, Car Chix has announced a Junior Dragster Category, with girls and boys competing in the same format as the adult categories to determine the Junior Battle of the Sexes Winner.
