HOT ROD Drag Week 2017, powered by Dodge and presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive
Drag Week is the most fun you can have in drag racing—unless you’re blessed with lots of cubic-dollars or significant luck. But as much as it appears like it’s fun, and it is, there’s also the work. Yes, the work that goes into swapping from street to strip tune, going 200-300 miles between tracks with clang, bang racecars in the hinterlands heat with no air, and the mental drain knowing your next run or next mile could be the last for this year’s Drag Week. Wrenching in the hot sun, under pressure, miles from the friendly confines of your own shop, fishing out lifters with coat hangers off a dirt road 120-miles from the next Drag Week venue, it’s both mental and physical pressure. We’ve assembled over 100 images of wrenching, reaching, ratchets and racing. Also, here are the many shots of just the engines of Drag Week, in all their gleaming, gooey, greasy glory. See for yourself how some of these guys have routed turbo exhaust, supercharger placement, relocated radiator supports for a little extra room, and marvel at how many applications there are for LS swaps.
