AUSTIN, TX (4-28-26) The dB Drag Racing Association (dBDRA) has officially released the schedule and qualification requirements for the 2026 Finals. The upcoming season finale events will feature locations in both Europe and North America, providing a premier place for elite competitors to showcase their builds.
NORTH AMERICAN FINALS
- Dates: October 3–4, 2026
- Location: Indiana State Fairgrounds, Indianapolis, IN
In a continued collaborative effort to support the car audio community, dBDRA, IASCA, and ISPLL will host their 2026 Finals concurrently at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. This partnership brings three premier sanctioning bodies together under one roof, providing a unified venue for the top SPL competitors.
By co-locating these season finales, the organizations offer a centralized destination that highlights the full spectrum of the sport—from music-focused builds to extreme, custom high-SPL vehicles. This co-location streamlines logistics for competitors participating in multiple organizations and creates a high-impact environment for industry sponsors and fans. The expansive space at the Fairgrounds ensures a professional atmosphere, giving competitors the ultimate environment to hit the lanes and put their builds to the test.
