Event Coverage Breaking: The Day Of The Drags - Date Change!

How come I can't find that share button???

 

Did I read somewhere that the Day of the Drags was changed to 1/8th mile racing this year?

 

yep, on their website @ www.dayofthedrags.com

DRAG RACING RULES

• Cars must be American made, 1963 and older to qualify to race on Friday night and all day Saturday - no modern cars, no newer muscle cars, no euro sports cars, no Volkswagons, etc. This weekend is focused on early American drag racing.
• We are running 1/8 MILE RACES on the dragstrip.
• Your car must pass tech inspection in order to race. That means good tires, no loose pieces on car, no fluid leaks or any other safety issues.
• Seatbelts and helmets are are required for ALL cars and racers - we want everyone to be safe.
• To race in elimination races, you must return to the staging lanes after time trials and we will mark your dial-in time and class on your windshield.
• During elimination rounds, racers will line up within each class and face off by dial-in time.
• Your dial-in time is set by your fastest pass during time trials, no sandbagging and brakes at the top end - run as fast as you can, this is a race!

Pacer Car Club from Long Island, New York.

Car was a legend on East Coast back in the 60's and I believe the car is still around and making runs down the drag strip.

The Pacer's Fuel Altered was a legend, golden-age fuel drag racing at it's best. With DOTD delayed for a week, and a lot of us really hungry to see some old-time racing action, I notice that the 2014 Outlaw Fuel Altered circuit's season finale is this Saturday evening an hours drive away at San Antonio Raceway. The Pacer's aren't likely to be there, but a couple of dozen other fuel-guzzling tire-smoking ill-handling roadsters and coupes will be, all of 'em tearing it up trying to win the championship.
