FONDA, NY – As the new racing season approaches, CDRA officials wanted to turn up the prestige a bit to win a JAM Performance & Consulting CDRA racing series event presented by Elmo’s Speed Supply. To do so, the series needed to offer something exclusive and limited. That led to official Dual Piston victory trophy for winners in series competition.
Currently the new Dual Piston winning trophy is being designed with the intent to be produced by TC Creations out of Adams, MA. The Dual Piston trophy will be awarded to drivers who earn victory in a CDRA points paying event. This hardware will be awarded along with whatever hardware tracks are presenting to the victors.
CDRA believes it’s not always the monetary loot that makes winning a notable accomplishment, but the exclusivity of the spoils that come with being victorious. There are only six opportunities to reach CDRA victory lane each season making opportunities limited, and some of the events are staples of Sportsman Modified racing in the Capital District.
That concept brings about the formation of a very special renamed championship trophy for the 2026 season. The concept isn’t new and is inspired by trophies such as the Buzzie, Golden Driller, or World Finals. Stay tuned for the full story on the LD Bossman championship trophy, which will be releasing soon from CDRA.
UP NEXT FOR CDRA: The season starts April 17, 2026 at Albany-Saratoga Speedway for CDRA racers. 25 laps for $1,300 to win on Malta’s 61st season opener. Before that, it’s car show season.
CDRA is a nostalgic throwback to CVRA days. Each season consists of a diverse schedule based around storied dirt tracks in the Capitaland such as Albany-Saratoga, Lebanon Valley, and Glen Ridge. Drivers who participate have the opportunity to earn hardware and monetary rewards for their efforts.
