Friday night Jeff Pagano, from East Hampton, New York, was just getting out of emergency surgery after driving from home on his way to Drag Week. Friday afternoon around Detroit, he started feeling pain in his gut, pulled into a hospital, and was told he needed an emergency appendectomy. He argued with the hospital staff, insisting he instead needed to attend Drag Week. The agreement they all came to was to schedule Jeff for the final surgery on Friday. Then, Saturday at noon, he checked himself out of the hospital to continue his trek to Cordova for Drag Week tech inspection and test and tune today, Sunday.
When we asked him how he felt, he said, “Bloated.” OK, then! But he wouldn’t, couldn’t miss Drag Week, and so bloated and all he’s a happy racer.
Jeff’s had some bad luck at Drag Week having smacked his 1972 El Camino into the wall last year. He may have found his lucky mojo as who has an appendectomy a little over a day before Drag Week tech? Good luck Jeff, and keep it between the lines.
