This sounds really cool. They have to drive 1000 miles and then the average of five 1/4 mile runs determines the winner. I thought to myself...this would appear to be the domain of the turbo LS. And Freiburger said there were a lot there. Looking for coverage of this event which already happened in Sept. This is about the only way to get me interested in drag racing.
Hot Rod Magazine’s Drag Week is the most intense form of street-car racing in the world. The competition pits street cars, some of which really push the boundaries of that phrase, to run passes at four different drag strips across five days while also driving the cars on the roads between tracks. The total distance traveled is usually somewhere well north of 1,000 miles, meaning that cars capable of running 250 mph in a quarter-mile have to drive on the roads with your grandmother’s Camry
