The Southern California Drag Racing Series (SCEDA) is pleased to announce a marketing partnership with Calvert Racing Suspensions for the 2010 racing season. The SCEDA Series Stock - Super Stock Combo class will now be known as the Calvert Racing Suspension Stock – Super Stock Combo class effective at the series first event this year to be held at Auto Club Dragway in Fontana, Calif., January 23rd and 24th.

SCEDA held an introductory running for Stock and Super Stock as one class at the series final event in 2009 to see if it would fit with their current bracket racing format.  The turnout was overwhelming, as nearly double the expected entries showed up to Fontana.  Due to the extreme interest, SCEDA decided to make the class a permanent addition in 2010.  Calvert Racing Suspensions noticed the excitement this new category created and decided to become the title rights sponsor.
