The headline FuelTech Xtreme Class anchors the program, bringing together the sport’s quickest compact platforms and setting performance benchmarks for the wider field.

Over $300,000 in prizes across a four-round season raises the competitive ceiling at OSW.

Cars in this category exceed 260mph and run mid-five-second quarter miles, underscoring the engineering sophistication central to modern import drag racing.

Round one, the New Season Compact Nationals, runs September 12–13, 2026, forming the first competitive reference point for the championship.

The World Sport Compact Challenge follows on October 21–25, 2026, likely drawing the deepest entry lists and concentrating early title momentum.

FuelTech Xtreme Class targets mid-five-second passes at over 260mph.

Competition resumes at the Winter Sport Compact Nationals on December 4–6, 2026, where reliability and incremental gains typically shape the standings.

The New Sport Compact Finals on February 5–6, 2027, determine champions and reward season-long execution under pressure.

FuelTech’s title sponsorship aligns with the series’ emphasis on advanced engine control and data systems, technology underpinning the platform’s fastest builds.

GRS-Motorsports presents the championship and provides worldwide media coverage, strengthening visibility for teams, partners, and emerging drivers.

Season-long points add strategy and narrative often missing from standalone import events.

OSW owner Ozzy Moya frames the project as a historic consolidation of elite imports on a single stage, enabled by a substantial purse.

A structured points battle encourages consistency, tactical event selection, and measured risk-taking across qualifying and eliminations.

Organizers plan to release registration and payout details ahead of the opener, allowing teams to finalize budgets, testing, and logistics.

For Orlando Speed World, the series aims to elevate import drag racing’s competitive standard and draw leading outfits to Central Florida’s iconic dragway.
