Hot Rod Drag Week took place last week. It started and ended at US131 Motorsports Park in Martin MI. Other stops were Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk OH, Lucas Oil Speedway in Indianapolis and Byron Dragway in Byron IL. Drag Week is made up of 18 classes based on engine and chassis/suspension combinations. The following are a few of my favorites from the event. The Unlimited Class and Overall Winner was Dave Schroeder in his brand new '19 Corvette built by Jerry Bickel. It is powered by a 872ci engine on NOS. One unique aspect of this car is it's Pro Stock style manifold that is mounted backwards to get cooler air off the windshield. He won with a 6.73 average @ 198 mph. His best pass was a 6.45 @ 209 on Day 5 at Martin. This was the only Pro Mod style car that competed.
