Just returned from Darlington, S.C. Went to Hot Rod Magazine's Drag Week. 400 cars started in Atlanta Sunday. They raced in Atlanta on Monday. Then they got in the cars and DROVE them to Darlington. Tomorrow they will be in Charlotte. The next day in Bristol. The next day back in Atlanta. They can only take what they can carry on or in the car and whatever trailer they want to pull. NO SUPPORT vehicles. Oh, and on pump gas.
Here's the good part, they are running in the 6s. Yes in the 6s. The 6s. Way over 200 mph. Like 219 mph. I never, in my wildest dreams of Hot Rodding, thought there were cars lurking amongst us on the highway capable of this kind of performance. 5 and 6 hour drives in rain, heavy traffic, stop and go to sign in at each check point and then pull in, change tires, make adjustments and FLY.
Great day, great memories, and now to shoot!
