Thread: Things That Ruined Drag Racing!

Tweet

I dont know but from my point of view drag racing is evolving here.
we have lived through our 1st year of our amature pirate drag racing club and the results were incredible.
we run on a actual 4300 ft 120 ft wide airstrip, flat long,(looks like to goes forever)and even a concrete launch pad.
The city has allowed us to shut the place down for the races and have been very cooperative and supportive in the use of the airstrip.
We were able to create enough revenue to purchase a new portatree timing syst in our 3 race day season (thats based on a 25.00 car and driver entry fee and 5.00 a head for anyone over 12)Watch out for the menonite rush!!
We have that written in our constitutuion to never increase the gate fee.
We are insured and use the nhra guidelines for safty and tech all cars.
our last race day had an amazing car count of 103 cars bikes truck etc and all winter i have had calls from guys building cars and wanting to know re rules and what they should have.
we ran giant kings of the hill last year and this year are going to have 3 classes of racers run down.
I kind of think this is what drag racing should be , more fun, some fast cars lots of street cars, some crazy guys like me running 26 inch zoomies on a rat rod bucket
looking for a few snowmobiles this year and if someone brings out one of those race quads we wont turn him away.
i have been to vegas to the big show and its great but its not the homegown
fun that we are having. When i see some of the old pics from the eatly 60s and late 50s it really reminds me of what we are doing.
This year were even going to try some flag starts on the line for fun.
here a couple pics
Drag racing is not dead it just may chnage a little
