Tulsa is my home track so if you guys have any questions just let me know. It's also where Billy and his family are from so I'm sure he and all his brothers will be going again this year and have some great stories to share with us.

I'm thinking about going on it with my wife 1968 Barracuda and go with my dad in his 1966 Barracuda but I haven't made my mind up yet.

I never understood why they do this in the midwestern states when Hot Rod Magazine is based in california. I wish it started in california and then moved east or wherever. Also isn't it a requirement for drag week that you drive the car to each track, not tow it with a trailer?

You can trailer TO the event base track... once the
event starts, no more support veh... you can tow a
trailer of limited size... but basically your on your
own but can buy parts or what ever on the way.... BUT
must stay with the block you start with.... its a
real good time

They were a PITA to build... close with the inner
fenders in there.... I'll have to get some updated
pics... just been so busy to get any... those headers
will be coated black to contrast with all the shiney
stuff under the hood

That is a good route for me, pretty long stretch from Memphis to Tulsa, 430 miles. Sent money off today for two Quick Fuel Dominators,8-71 adaptor plate, and regulators. KB block honed and pressure tested to 25 psi with no water leaks. Now I have to save up for rotating assembly and blower

Saw this update here and figured I would share with everybody if you haven't seen it already...

COMP Cams® Returns To Hot Rod Drag Week In 2012
Memphis, TN - COMP Cams® and the COMP Performance Group™ companies return to support Hot Rod Drag Week participants in a big way during the 2012 tour.

This September more than 200 hand-selected drivers and cars will take part in the 8th annual Hot Rod Drag Week, a 5-day, 1100-mile round trip journey that every year redefines the term “street/strip machine.” The 2012 edition of the racing road trip will take place from September 9th-14th, during which time each participant will visit four separate drag strips, compete daily in one of 15 classes (some with cars making passes in as little as six seconds) and then drive his or her high performance ride to the next stop on the tour. And they do it all without trailers or support vehicles; all cars are required to travel with all tools, provisions and equipment on board. COMP Cams® is proud to be back supporting this week long display of big, streetable horsepower. As part of its participation, COMP® will present the Engine Builder Challenge and provide prizes for the winning engine builders in each class. Meanwhile, sister companies FAST™ and TCI® will serve as the official fuel injection and official transmission of the program, respectively, and will also provide contingency prizes. COMP Performance Group™ support technicians will be present at each leg of Drag Week to offer technical assistance and lend a hand as well.

This year’s Drag Week kicks off on Sunday, September 9th with a Test & Tune and mandatory tech inspection at Tulsa Raceway Park in Oklahoma. The first race day takes place at that track the next day, before moving onto Ennis, TX, and the Texas Motorplex on Tuesday, September 11th. Race day number three is on Wednesday, September 12th, at Thunder Road Raceway in Gilliam, LA. From there the cars drive to Tennessee and Memphis International Raceway for the fourth race day on Thursday, September 13th. Upon leaving Memphis the street/strip cars once again head west to Oklahoma for the afternoon finals on Friday, September 14th, back at Tulsa Raceway Park. SPEED Channel camera crews will also be present to document all of the races and the trips for airing at a to-be-determined date.
