Don't have a truck & trailer and never will. There will likely never be another chance for me to pull this off, assuming this is the only time the event is held at tracks so close to me.
My home in Northern VA to: Virginia Motorsports Park (Dinwiddie, VA) --> 160 miles / 3 hour drive (w/o traffic) Cecil County Dragway (Rising Sun, MD) --> 110 miles / 2 hour drive... Atco Dragway (Atco, NJ) --> 180 miles / 4 hours... Maryland International Raceway (Budds Creek, MD) --> 80 miles / 1.5+ hours...
The only track on that list I haven't been to is Atco, and it's closer than E-town, which I've driven the MoPig to before years ago.
What class does a N/A BB street car fit in? I know even if it goes really low 10s that it'll be way off the pace of the fastest cars in the class, but I don't care.
When & how is sign-up done?

Rules reviewed... Street Race Big-Block Naturally Aspirated would be like taking a (dull) knife to a gun fight. Street Machine Eliminator, especially since it's limited to 10.00, is the only reasonable fit. But my bracket racing skills are reeeeeeeeeealy rusty, and if I survived the trip & qualified well for last-event bracket race, I'd likely be a 1st Round duck. So be it.

Like I said: ... if I survived the trip... So, I hear ya'. Dwayne just reminded me that the trip is wwwwaaaaayyyy longer than simple track-to-track distances, since they give you a route sheet, daily check points, etc. I'd still like to give it a shot.

It's been pretty much run in "Middle America" as long as I can remember, so it's always seemed like "Screw you east coast" to me, too. I presume the guys with the big $$$ can go wherever it is. This would be more of a Bucket List thing for me and likely the only chance I'll have to participate from a time, logistics AND $$$ perspective. It's not a sure thing for me right now, but it d*mn sure has my interest.

Start saving your money today. Probably not for the lite wallets The many years I raced motocross and the more limited time I was active in local drag racing showed me that participating in motorsports and being financial prudent are usually mutually exclusive. OK, enuff of my chattering on 'bout this. Thanks to the OP for the "heads up", even if it's not something I can follow through on.

I went to drag week 2016 as a spectator an had a great time..

As a spectator I can make Cecil and Atco. No idea what class my wagon would fit in, but whatever it is, I’m sure mid 11’s would be at the bottom of the list.

I can tell you I really really wish I had tried to get something together for the years it was at Indy, Union Grove, Byron, Cordova, basically making a circle around Chicago. I didn't, now my dad, who would have been trunk monkey had passed and boohoo. Make it happen for yourself if you can.
