Drag Week 2006 was our first, Boone took a 78 Dodge 1/2 ton short bed with a 493, and I was his co-pilot. We split the expenses of the trip while Dad and Darren followed the route in a PT Cruiser.

We finished 3rd in the 12.0 Daily Driver class with a 12.0023 average. Among the guys we beat in that class that year were, Tom Taylor, Vince Rasch, Ross Dudley, Radar Watkins, Steve Atwell, and Troy Scott. Tara Fling, who now helps Tonya with the time slips, whacked Boone on the tree in the first round of a four car bracket race.

We were a bit put off by how the return group from 2005 were being coddled, and congratulating themselves all week, that combined with the distance to the starting tracks, and the fact that Dale, Dad, and I were still actively racing NHRA Super Street kept us away until 2011 started in Topeka.

Boone traded the 493 out of the 1/2 ton, and an enclosed car trailer for the Belvedere.

The Belvedere is 5 for 6, Boone drove it to a 12.01-107 average in 2011, then I traded him out of it in July of 2012 in a three car deal including money and parts to revive the Barnyard Viper. Rachael has driven it for the last five events, with a DNF on Day 1 in 2013 due to a clutch pack issue in the 727.

66 Plymouth Satellite Dale drove this car to a 12.72-107 average in 2011 to complete his first Drag Week. I ended up with the car, and took it in 2013, where it averaged 12.28-108. I sold it in 2014.

Darren's 73 Charger is officially 0 for 3 on Drag Week, but it's really 0 for 4, if you factor in last year. He says it's coming in 2017, but he didn't get pre-registered, so we will see.
