HOT ROD Drag Week 2017, powered by Dodge and presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive
Each day of Drag Week is a drama, times 400. There are 400 cars with millions of ways they may or may never finish Drag Week. Will the car break at the track? Can it be fixed? Will it make it the almost 300 miles to the next drag strip—in the case of Day 1, that strip being Gateway Motorsports Park? Will there be enough time at the end of the day for sleep? A shower? It’s an insane week of fear, fun, and frustration. We captured just a few highlights of Day 1 at Cordova, and as we trekked from Cordova to Gateway, we gathered more shots of what we encountered to give you just a snapshot of Day 1 of Drag Week 2017. We saw racers seamlessly adjusting their cars from strip-ready to street-ready. We encountered breakdowns in an array of severity—taxing both cars and drivers. We followed Drag Week’s first nitro-powered entrant as he blitzed through Illinois. Being the first day spirits are high—except for those at Cordova experiencing problems they need to overcome before the 3:00 closure of the track. See what we saw on the road for Day 1 of 2017 Drag Week.
