420ponies Posted Wednesday at 02:17 PM Posted Wednesday at 02:17 PM We went toĀ NumidiaĀ Dragstrip yesterday for a day of racing. Saw two badĀ crashes, both drivers areĀ ok, cars not so much. We were on the side that the '55 got crossed up on and saw the whole ordeal. Lots of cars there, I think the D class Ā had the most participant's .Someone told me over 400 cars started out on Monday. That Green Monte did not show up(darn it),and Jeff Lutz was out early Monday.Had a great time checking everything out. If one of these are close to you ,go and check it out. This was a good 2 hrs from me, would do it again. Maybe next year get to take the Monte, and see what I can break! Did not see that Monte there Mark, must have excited out of competition? 2 Quote
DragCat Posted Wednesday at 11:43 PM Author Posted Wednesday at 11:43 PM I like the "drag and drive" scenario, but I know I couldn't race all day and drive X miles to the next trackĀ šĀ Some race weekends offer that at the same track. Two weeks ago I was racing and saw a "small tire" car loose it and look similar to the Drag Week MoustangĀ š® 2 Quote

Then you can test and tune for 1 day, start the next day racing, and get Ā your best E.T. of that day(all heads up).Even if you break the beam you can start over(saw that many times). After that, you then change over to street mode, drive to the next track ( I believe there are 2 check points, just Ā a picture of your car at the check point), then you can take any route to the next track for the next day of racing. Like , I went to the 2nd day of racing and some only did 1 time down the track, others tried multiple times to betterĀ their E.T. Ā Looks like a good time if nothing breaks. They have pull behind trailers with everything they think they need for the week. Plus they have Summit, that brings parts if they need them or even fans can bring them parts if needed. The racers help each other out is what I like about it. If you survive the week, you've won! 2 Quote

Ā Much respect for the racers that do it.Ā 2 Quote
DragCat Posted Friday at 11:50 PM Author Posted Friday at 11:50 PM Video from Tony Angelo, drag week stuff starts at about 34 minutes. He was on Hot Rod garage and others. I can't imaging driving approximately 1K miles between drag Ā stripsĀ Ā 1 Quote
