Hot Rod "Drag Week"
 
Not for sure how many other guys here follow the annual "Drag Week" event, but HotRod.com is doing a live feed...and it's *exceptional*...crystal clear picture, and you can read the clocks and understand the announcer perfectly.

https://www.youtube.com/user/HotRodMa.../l/LxGrWJXOt2Y

One of our very own, sYc member Dru Diesner has the old W2W Nova (pictured below) in this event...should be good for 8s @ 150 or so I reckon. This event is on my bucket list...

Looks like Amarillo has a GREAT internet connection, so the feed is rocking...which is nice because yesterday's feed sucked.

Man, I see considerable light under that tire. Trailer hitch (obviously for weight transfer and/or a wheelie bar) and hub caps (improved aero over the tire/wheel combo) is looking smart!
