In between the ending of the class car session, and the beginning of the SME runs, Great Lakes Dragaway sandwiched in a group of 8 Nostalgia Pro Stock Cars, and Hot Rod allowed Jeff Lutz to make an exhibition run in his new "The 57". This irritated some of the Drag Week competitors who were anxious about getting in all the runs they wanted, but to me, it was quite flattering that Drag Week can pack the place on a Thursday and compel the facility to treat the opportunity like a show. It did give an odd feel to a Drag Week pit though, with trucks and trailers, canopies and vendors, and even a small car show!
