HOT ROD Drag Week 2017, powered by Dodge and presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive
The fantastic times and speeds we’ve seen at both Cordova and Gateway are really only half of the picture that is Drag Week. The other half? Getting to the next venue, of course. And so for the second time of the 2017 edition HOT ROD Drag Week the racers that turned in their best time slips march on to the next strip—usually 200-300 miles away. Today was a bit unusual for the intrepid HOT ROD staff as we witnessed few major breakdowns on our way to Byron, Ohio. But that may be due to the high number of cars that broke at Gateway, including Tom Bailey, Mike Finnegan’s Blasphemi Gasser, and the Finnish group with their 1967 Plymouth VIP Fury. Sadly, all are out for 2017. You can read about this elsewhere on HOT ROD’s website. Still, we captured some great shots of Drag Weekers en route to Byron, and also at the one checkpoint stop that proved to be a welcome retreat for hot, weary, and still eager participants. We’ve got great shots of all of that and more, which you can access HERE.
